AIM Launches First Ever 'Boycott The New York Times' Campaign and Website

WASHINGTON, October 8 /Standard Newswire/ -- Accuracy in Media announced today the launch of its new website, Boycott The New York Times (www.BoycottNYT.com). AIM, which has monitored The New York Times for nearly 40 years, is encouraging news consumers to boycott the most powerful media voice in America to protest its persistent leftist bias.

 

"The Times has, over the course of decades, blatantly distorted the news to advance an ideological agenda," notes Don Feder, the editor of the Boycott The New York Times website. "The Times' persistent bias is reflected in its double standard in coverage of liberals and conservatives, its misreporting of election news, the hidden assumptions that underlie news stories and in the palpable imbalance in commentary. While The Times is notorious for editorials thinly disguised as 'news coverage,' during a presidential election, its fangs really come out."

 

Feder added, "When a company manufactures dangerously defective products, despite repeated warnings, consumer advocates have both a right and a duty to organize a boycott. The Times is manufacturing a product ('news coverage'), which is both defective and dangerous. By boycotting The New York Times, we are refusing to do business with a company that is undermining our values, our society and our nation."

 

AIM's Boycott The New York Times campaign includes the BoycottNYT.com website, articles and commentary, and a petition whose signers pledge to boycott The Times – both print and online editions – as well as New York Times advertisers.

 

In the past, media watchdog groups have monitored and protested The Times' bias. This is the first organized boycott of The New York Times.
