CAMERA calls on NBC News to correct its reporting on Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee's recent interview with Tucker Carlson, when it significantly misquoted the Ambassador's definition of "Christian Zionist."
NBC's video "investigation" of the IDF was so disingenuous it did not utter the word "tunnel" or mention Mohammed Deif by name. It was activism - not journalism.
NBC News reported that the entire Gaza Strip was still at risk of starvation despite the IPC's own reports and the recent United Nations' acknowledgment that 100% of food needs in Gaza have been met.

While naming Israel as the boogeyman, these reports brushed Islamist extremist violence against Christians under the rug despite reports of at least two attacks in the days before Christmas.
Hamas used NBC News in its propaganda campaign. While his co-terrorists were hoarding baby formula, a Hamas physician-operative used the media to tell the world Gaza's babies had nothing to eat.
