This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The United Nations special representative Pramila Patten released her full report on sexual assaults on October 7.

She concluded that sexual violence did indeed take place. The NYT didn't publish anything false.
The fact Hamas committed bad thing doesn't mean the NYT vilified Palestinians.
The NYT told the story of a Palestinian grandmother who refuses to leave her home in Gaza during bombardments because she already lost her home once, in 1948:

The NYT wrote stories about a Palestinian child orphaned by the air strike that killed dozens of her family members :

There's no story that is more fiercely contested than Israel-Palestine drama , more mired in competing zero-sum narratives. It is nearly impossible to produce fair, accurate coverage without making all sides angry.
