CAMERA's UK Media Watch prompts correction of an Economist feature which wrongly reported that Arabic music was banned from Israeli radio for several decades.
An Economist article on Israel's declaration of state land is characteristically harsh on Israel and employs inappropriate terminology. CiF Watch, a CAMERA affiliate, has prompted correction in The Economist which falsely identified the Israeli town of Kochav Yair. It is neither "fanatical," nor is it a "settlement." CiF Watch, a CAMERA affiliate, has prompted a rare correction at the Economist on an article which incorrectly reported on American Jewish views on Israel and Iran. 
Editors of the British news magazine The Economist have flouted their Journalist Code of Practice and shown their complete contempt for readers with a derisive letter refusing to correct an article's distortions and misinformation.

Instead of investigating activist claims that the building in E1 bisects the West Bank and cuts off access to Jerusalem, much of the media has simply echoed the false accusations.
