Florida Seeks NY Times Internal Documents Over Errors in Israel-Hamas War Coverage
The state says it's looking out for the value of its pension fund's 160,000 shares of NY Times stock. The newspaper sees the demand as an intimidation tactic.

This action is prompted by the newspaper’s admitted mistakes in its coverage of the Israel-Hamas war, which Uthmeier claims could harm the state’s pension fund. The Attorney General intends to scrutinize documents to ensure the company is operating smoothly and to protect the pension fund’s investment.
