The New York Times received massive backlash after publishing a report about a murdered rabbi living in the UAE with a headline claiming he "disappeared" and was "found dead." 

The outlet was the first to cover the death of 28-year-old Rabbi Zvi Kogan, a usual citizen of Israel and Moldova, whose body was found near Dubai on Sunday. The headline for the initial report read: "Israeli rabbi who disappeared in Dubai is found dead." The NYT later changed the headline to: "An Israeli Rabbi Is Abducted and Killed in the U.A.E." after many online critics, including prominent Democratic political figures, called the outlet out for appearing to downplay the elements of terrorism and antisemitism surrounding Kogan's death. 

"Rabbi Kogan was not 'found dead', he was murdered," former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo posted on X. "There is a disturbing pattern whereby some in the media — and particularly the [New York Times] — downplay antisemitic acts. It must be called out and addressed."
