Oh yes, the Times is very reliable.
ARE YOU BLAZES KIDDING?
They don’t even make an attempt to get stories correct, the entire system is about sensationalism. They exist to sell papers, and they were pretty good at that until the internet came.
Any time there is a story about the frum community, they completely botch it. When it is about the Hispanic community, we just don’t know.
I recall one time when R’ Ovadia Yosef was in the hospital, the papers published a picture of ultra-orthodox jews praying outside the hospital towards his window. Or maybe saying kiddush levana?
Did they bother to find out? They don’t care.
And let’s recall a little story we knew about. Where they portrayed the jewish victim of an arab mob, to be an arab victim of Israeli police!
Did they publish a retraction? I don’t recall, but I assure you it didn’t have the same prominence.
