Ethan Bronner of New York Times @ Vassar, Conflict of Interest

Actual footage of Ethan Bronner admitting that his son joined IDF 5 weeks ago at Vassar College on February 3rd, 2010. Bronner, finally admits that his son is in the IDF, an army, that does terrible things to Palestinians when publicly confronted by a blunt question. See related videos. Judge for yourself, based on what he says, in the talk, where his thoughts truly lie. It's more revealing (believe it or not) than the articles he writes in NYT. An example (paraphrase): Gazans are poor but not that poor. Not as bad as some of the starving African nations. An Israeli Army general told me: We make sure that about 100 trucks go into Gaza every day. We make sure so no one (children included) is starving, just enough so they won't starve. We actually calculate their caloric needs!!! What do you think as a human being?

Minor correction and clarification:

In the first part of the questioning, the questioner misspoke regarding how many words NYT devoted to descriptive coverage of the Goldstone Report. He should have said 1000 words and not 1000 pages. "El-Bader refers to the attack by Israeli Forces on the El-Bader flour mill.

**EDIT: It's Bronner's son who is in the IDF, but the point still stands.

Hypocrisy and propaganda at its most shameless.

Ethan, how on earth can you have the audacity to give peaches on "conflict of interest in the media", when you are a New York Times correspondent in Israel who was ALSO a volunteer IDF soldier???????

Is this not the most insanely egregious example of hypocrisy ever committed by a human being, man or woman, on the face of this dear planet?????

It's people like you who have irrevocably destroyed journalism as an honorable profession.

Ethan Bronner joined the IDF - the Israeli Defense Force, out of his own free-will -- the same organization that has been caught deliberately targeting civilians and "routinely" using human shields.

There have been calls for The Times to remove him due to the obvious fact that it's impossible for him to have any level of impartiality.

The fact that you would even upload people like this shows perfectly that you have no concern what-so-ever for fair-reporting and truth.
