New York Times changes headline about Bowman's defeat, initially blamed 'flood of pro-Israel money'

The New York Times appeared to quietly change a headline about a "flood of pro-Israel money" leading to Tuesday's lopsided primary defeat of Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y.

Bowman, an outspoken critic of Israel, suffered a double-digit primary defeat on Tuesday to Westchester County Executive George Latimer, a pro-Israel moderate Democrat. The race was defined in part by the bitter schism within the party over Israel and its war in Gaza since the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack. 

The New York Times’ initial headline about Bowman's loss, "Bowman Falls in House Primary, Overtaken by Flood of Pro-Israel Money," was quickly criticized on social media.
