This morning, I saw a tweet by Gary Weiss about a line in a NYT article. The NYT article, as of this morning at 2 AM, contained the following line.

The tableau underscored how wrenching the vote was for even outspoken progressives, who have been caught between their principles and the still powerful pro-Israel voices in their party, such as influential lobbyists and rabbis.

https://web.archive.org/web/20210924025238/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/23/us/politics/israel-iron-dome-congress.html

Gary Weiss tweeted, "@nytimes frames the #IronDome vote as pitting "principles"----the honorable goal of Israeli civilians getting murdered by Hamas---and the raw naked power of the evil Jew Lobby. Including rabbis! It's that bad!"

If you check the article online today, notice words that have been deleted from the article.

The Rating on the Claim

הסגולה ששברה את הרשת: "עד היום הוא לא יודע מי שם לו אותה בתיבת דואר

On September 1st, USA fact checker Daniel Funke was trying to verify the claim that "Donald Trump saluted the caskets of fallen U.S. service members, while Joe Biden checked his watch." Funke rated the claim as partly false and wrote, "The full video of the dignified transfer ceremony shows Biden honored each of the fallen U.S. service members. He appeared to check his watch after the ceremony ended."
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/09/01/fact-check-biden-checked-watch-after-ceremony-dover-air-force-base/5663427001/

On September 2nd, the rating was changed.

Corrections & Clarifications: This story was updated Sept. 2 to note that Biden checked his watch multiple times at the dignified transfer event, including during the ceremony itself. The rating on this claim has been changed from partly false to missing context.

Daniel Funke tweeted, "Journalists and fact-checkers are human (yes, even me!) We make mistakes."
