    I got the impression that Christiane Amanpour was hiding something like this from Jon Stewart when he interviewed her recently, and she works for CNN. I don’t think these sorts of guidelines are unique to NYT.

      Yeah, there’s no way.

      With our major media networks owned by billionaires, and all of them propagating the narrative that criticism of Israel = antisemitism, I think it’s a fair presumption that they all have a naughty words list.
