Proud to have been part of the team that computationally analyzed the New York Times' biased coverage of Israel and Palestine. This is part of a broader effort by Writers Against the War On Gaza @wawog_now, who released today a tour-de-force exposé of NYT: newyorkwarcrimes.com

@DoofusPhD Discussion is not in Bengali? :D :D
