Nicholas Kristof and the Collapse of Journalistic Standards
COMMENTARY
By Nancy Jacobson
How can the American people know what to believe anymore? They’re supposed to be able to turn to the New York Times and other legacy newspapers for impartial facts. Although that aspirational view was never as true as many of us supposed it to be, it’s become scandalously untrue today.
The Times this week played host to one of the most astonishing examples of journalistic malpractice in recent memory. It was perpetrated by Nicholas Kristof – a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist turned progressive columnist and aspiring Democratic politician. Hiding under the cloak of the Times’ opinion section, Kristof ran a report alleging shocking and lurid claims of widespread, systemic sexual assault by Israeli prison guards against Palestinians.
This would be horrifying if true, except we have little reason to believe it is. To justify his claims, Kristof relies on Hamas-linked organizations, anti-Israel activists, and anonymous accounts that lack any semblance of independent verification. He also regurgitates a monstrous claim – that Israel trains dogs to rape prisoners – that is widely believed to be impossible, let alone unsubstantiated.
Let’s start with Kristof’s marquee source: the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor. He calls it “a Geneva-based advocacy group often critical of Israel,” which is like calling the DNC “a Washington-based political group often critical of Republicans.” Euro-Med exists to oppose Israel. Many of its leaders, including its founder and chairman, are linked to Hamas. The group has a track record of promoting unverified or false anti-Israel claims, including the exact “dogs trained to rape prisoners” story Kristof repeated.
…
Viewed that way, the op-ed begins to look much like the rest of the discourse from aspiring candidates in America – where facts take a backseat to agendas, and claims are measured more by whether they hurt the opposition than whether they capture the truth.
The difference is, this claim appeared in the New York Times, bringing us back to the question: How can the American people know what to believe?

Editor: Reader note that this hystical chatter is yet further evidence of the loyalty of a Zionist Apologist. I trace the evolition of a her politics over time.
Nancy Jacobson is a founder of No Labels, a national organization of Democrats, Republicans and independents dedicated to a new politics of problem solving.
No Labels
Jacobson founded No Labels in 2010 with the stated goal of promoting bipartisanship.[9] The organization has put forth ideas that it claims will “put problem solving above politics”,[10] and purports to support centrist, moderate social and economic policies.
The No Labels group has been instrumental in the creation of the Problem Solvers Caucus.[11][12][13] A number of proposals supported by the group have been signed into law.[14][15][16] In 2021, the Problem Solvers Caucus, composed of an equal number of Democrats and Republicans, released a “Building Bridges” blueprint for a bipartisan infrastructure deal. It was the first deal to be endorsed by Republicans and Democrats during that budget cycle.[17][18] In connection with her work with No Labels, New York Times columnist David Brooks described her in 2016 as an “undeterrable” leader.[1]
No Labels has also been criticized of fostering a toxic environment by former employees, according to Politico.[19]
Other Activities
Jacobson is serving as a co-chair of the 2026 Jerusalem Post Miami Summit, an event focused on strengthening support for Israel amidst rising global antisemitism. In an interview prior to the summit, Jacobson emphasized the ‘unbreakable bond’ between the U.S. and Israel, arguing that their shared democratic values and cooperation against common threats make the world safer for Americans and ‘free-thinking people everywhere’.[20]
Editor : That Jacobson was the co-chair of the 2026 Jerusalem Post Miami Summit, an event focused on strengthening support for Israel amidst rising global antisemitism. Is demonstartive of her actual loyalties!
