NYT double standard on Muslim and Basque terrorists
When American government represeatives stated that the uptick in attacks by terrorists was a sign of their lack of popular support and a sign of their desperation, the New York Times ridiculed this analysis and spun it as a sign that America was being beaten and that the terrorists were winning. Yet, when Basque terrorists follow the same tactic, the NY Times sees it as a sign of their decline—so you get a headline like this one.
