I don’t think it works that way, it can be at different places on the scale. The other OP headlines are worse than the NYT one because they directly imply the “pre-emptive” claim is true, as opposed to indirectly implying it by choosing to reference the perspective of the IDF.
It’s misleading by being biased in favor of the IDF who are notorious for being fundamentally dishonest at all times including this one.
So congratulations, you got your triumvirate of shoddy journalism right here.

It does.
That’s irrelevant. Things don’t magically go from bad to good just because a worse version of the same thing exists.
Only difference is how sneaky they are about it. The bias they’re deliberately trying to spread is the same.
Quality of journalism isn’t a binary based on whether it is propagandizing for the correct side.
