Documentation methods of protests against governments the New York Times and Israel don't like

You will notice this in the last few weeks. When it comes to covering protests against governments detested by the US and Israel, journalist standards are lowered, nay eliminated, in order to increase pressures of coverage against those governments. There is a long article on Iran protests in the New York Times today but it is covered by its correspondent in...Cairo: but maybe you can see Tehran from the balcony of the hotel room in Cairo. Look at how the correspondent sources his coverage of Iran: "witnesses reported in e-mail exchanges." We should email the New York Times eyewitness reports of Egyptian and Israeli oppression and repression and see if they get used as a source for major articles.
