New York Post Publishes Letters Criticizing New York Times Column

The New York Post published letters from readers on May 18, 2026, addressing a New York Times column that described an Israeli military unit training dogs to commit sexual abuse against prisoners. One letter writer stated that the New York Times once followed the motto "All the News That's Fit to Print" but now appears to serve partisan political agendas.

The same letter noted that reports of torture and sexual abuse of hostages held by Hamas received less coverage from the Times. Another letter described additional accusations from Arab sources involving Israeli use of animals, including claims about rats, pigs, jellyfish, cows, pigeons, squirrels, and boars.

A third letter stated that the New York Times often begins with a conclusion and then fabricates facts to support it. The letter added that interviewing Gazans is unreliable because they face consequences for not repeating statements from their Hamas leaders.

Separate letters responded to a claim by a member of Congress that the American Revolution was a fight against billionaires. One letter stated that the colonists revolted from Britain in 1776 because of taxation without representation. Another letter noted that a Founding Father was one of the wealthiest men in Massachusetts and subsidized the Continental Army.

The letter added that the member of Congress could have received schooling beyond social media. A final letter questioned why politicians who speak the loudest often know the least.
