Sympathy for Terrorists at New York's Paper of Record

The New York Times.  Do I love to hate them?  No, I just hate them.  The Times's chronic anti-semitism, which dates back to the WWII era, has led them to become soft apologists for terrorists.  First, for terrorists who act against Israel, and by extension, all terrorists.  No where is this more apparent than in the headline shown in this screen grab, which sympathises with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev: http://dailycaller.com/2013/04/19/new-york-times-sympathy-for-the-devil/#ixzz2QwNJfnVK  (Mysteriously, the headline has been changed, which is why my link is to a blog showing the screengrab.)

We have also seen this phenomenon in action when they refer to Guantamo as a "political prison," implying that its prisoners are political prisoners, as described in this blog: http://www.lawfareblog.com/2013/04/the-new-york-times-declares-al-qaeda-membership-legitimate-political-activity/

Perhaps that puts some context on Times Magazine covers like the one in this screenshot (again, the headline and main graphic have been changed on the Times's website, and are now availably only through screengrabs that document it, like this one)  http://www.israellycool.com/2013/03/17/ben-ehrenreich-and-the-ny-times-paint-false-picture-of-terror-and-violence-advocates/
