They never give the name of the bystander, Ahmed el Ahmed, and they never note that he’s Muslim.
Other outlets have done so, but not the NYT.

Ahmed Al Ahmed is the man who tackled the gunman in Australia. He is a Muslim. He saved lives. My Jewish soul is deeply grateful.
And this is what happens when we run towards each other. When we build relationships and coalitions and solidarity. We show up for each other. He showed up. Thank you.

Justin Webb, in a far more consequential position as presenter of a flagship news programme, has repeatedly violated impartiality rules. If he had a similar warning, it clearly had no effect and he’s been allowed to continue.

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party.

Corporate welfare is out of control.
One example - Drax produces electricity by burning trees, most expensive electricity, UK's biggest single polluter.
In 2024, Drax had £1.06bn operating profit, paid £100m dividend, £300m in share buyback.
Received billions in subsidies for decades. Why?
