Morris: New York Times wins award for debunked anti-Jewish hit
The newspaper “New York Times announced on Monday that it has won the George Polk Award for its “news report” on Hasidic yeshivot, which was exposed as part of a political operation against a religious group, thanks to an investigation released by Breitbart.
once boasted on his website that his report, which “exposes how private schools in New York’s Hasidic Jewish community fail to provide students with an adequate education despite receiving more than a quarter of a billion dollars annually in public funds,” was once a prestigious award.
However once history – supposedly Hasidic students”[know] nothing” and grow up “barely [able] to support their own families” – was found to be carefully curated by omitting relevant information, avoiding sources directly associated with schools, and refusing to release relevant official statements, creating weapons used by secular political groups to attack the most sacred institutions of the pious community.
once apparently timed its story to coincide with the Council of Regents’ vote to regulate religious schools, and amid public pressure, the board unanimously decided to impose state decrees on schools to control curricula.
But Breitbart found out once did not establish a connection relevant to the report with at least two schools on which the story is based, titled “In Hasidic enclaves, failing private schools merging with public money” – until a few days before publication, with a request for comment on the final product during the year. in process. Breitbart identified two instances in which historical sources spoke to once and ignoring their claims. Breitbart also learned of one case where once blamed two schools for the same allegation of corporal punishment and on two occasions where a request for comment was answered but never published.
Breitbart reviewed the correspondence between once and teachers and administrators from various Hasidic yeshivas from different sects, reviewed classroom work in a Hasidic yeshiva, a breakdown of government funding for a Hasidic yeshiva, and publicly available data showing once mixed up the information to create a broad story with little to do with the complex facts of what she was talking about.
The Polk Award – once a preeminent award – has become a kind of ribbon of corporate media participation in the creation of machine propaganda.
The prize, once awarded to Walter Cronkite, Woodward and Bernstein, and Edward R. Murrow, is now awarded for pioneering work such as Washington PostJanuary 6 series, Climate Change Kids on ABC News, and New Yorker“Migrant workers watching climate catastrophes”.
In the correspondence reviewed by Breitbart between one of once yeshiva history authors, Eliza Shapiro and yeshiva teacher, Shapiro calls himself “New York City’s most accomplished education reporter” and “a serious reporter who can’t hold back” before eventually being fired by the teacher, apparently because that he did not give evidence that would fit her preferred narrative.
