“The Times<\/em> is not unique among media in manufacturing consent for war, for exploitation, for genocide. It is, rather, exemplary.”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

More than 100 pro-Palestine demonstrators were arrested Thursday after staging a protest at The New York Times<\/em>‘ Midtown Manhattan headquarters, where activists handed out copies of a satirical knockoff of the newspaper that skewered what organizers called its biased coverage of the Gaza<\/a> genocide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After surrounding the Times<\/em>‘ printing plant in College Point, Queens, members of Writers Against the War on Gaza (WAWOG), Palestinian Youth Movement, and other groups shut down the paper’s Midtown West headquarters, where they chanted, “New York Times<\/em> you can’t hide, we charge you with genocide,” “free, free Palestine<\/a>,” and “from the river to the sea.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 150 demonstrators occupied the Times<\/em> building, where they called on passersby to “boycott, divest, and unsubscribe.” Some passersby confronted the demonstrators. One angry man attempted<\/a> to steal a large banner from protesters. The New York Police Department said 124 protesters were arrested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the activists handed out parody copies of the Times<\/em>, renamed as the The New York War Crimes<\/a><\/em>. The paper’s creators also changed the Times<\/em>‘ “All the News That’s Fit to Print” motto to “All the Consent That’s Fit to Manufacture.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Times is reporting that 100 reporters were beheaded and eaten by the pro-Hamas protesters present in the lobby.
