Salon.com Parrots PLO Talking Points

 Salon.com depicts itself as a place to go for inspired alternative journalism. But its two commentators on Israel, David Palumbo-Liu and Ben Norton offer mindnumbing propaganda as they endlessly recycle PLO talking points.

Ben Norton’s Selective and Shoddy Reporting in Salon

Writing about an Israeli airstrike on Hamas facilities in Gaza, Salon's Ben Norton selectively cites context, downplaying the rocket threat and depicting Palestinian attackers as victims. He also presents outdated information as if it's current.

The Selective Skepticism of Salon’s Ben Norton

In a factually-challenged piece based on the blatantly false premise that Professor Amitai Etzioni called for the "flattening" of Beirut, Salon's Ben Norton embraces Hezbollah's baseless claims.

Salon.com’s Sordid Journalism

Salon.com's founders aspired to elevate the status of electronic journalism. Its recent coverage of Israel exposes how far the internet magazine has strayed from its original ideals. Its writings now reflect a tedious self-validating dogma devoid of factual accuracy.

Dvorkin Agonistes

Jeffrey DvorkinCAMERA apparently got under the skin of former NPR Ombudsman Jeffrey Dvorkin — really under the skin — during its intensive campaign against NPR's pervasive anti-Israel bias. Years later, in a comic and incoherent piece in Salon.com, Dvorkin is still railing against CAMERA.
