A media criticism take slamming the New York Times for a soft profile of far-right activist Laura Loomer while ignoring her long record of racist and anti-Muslim comments.

• The Times profiled Loomer's new political effort without mentioning her history of slurs against Black people and Muslims.
• The double standard is the point: critics of Israel get their worst quotes dug up, while Loomer's get left out.
• The piece leaned on one explanation for Republicans turning against Israel — that they're anti-Semites — ignoring anger over the war in Gaza and Lebanon.
• It also ties into a broader distrust of the Times' Israel coverage, including its treatment of Tucker Carlson for questioning Israel.

Outlook: Expect more friction between right-wing and progressive media and the Times over how it covers Israel and its critics.
