Associated Press' headline had stated as fact "Israel kills 34 people in Gaza," though the claim is unverified. The improved headline, appearing in dozens of media outlets, now qualifies with attribution, stating "health officials say." (Unmentioned, though, is the Hamas-affiliation of said officials.)
The arrest, detention, and pending deportation of Badar Khan Suri, an “academic” at Georgetown University, illuminate a disturbing reality about modern society. No, not about U.S. immigration policy. Rather, the situation is exposing the mainstream media’s extraordinary failure to perform basic journalism.
In an article on the arrest of the pro-terror husband of a Hamas-affiliated student at Georgetown, Politico sounds less like a news agency and more like a public relations firm. Unfortunately for Politico, that omitted context came from research produced by CAMERA.
Jamaal Bowman, the anti-Israel Congressman from New York's 16th Congressional District, has lost his primary fight. Leading news outlets like POLITICO echoed claims that Bowman's loss was due to the influence of the pro-Israel lobby. But as CAMERA tells Washington Examiner Magazine, the truth is otherwise, and Bowman is just one in a long line of anti-Israel politicians to blame AIPAC for his electoral loss.
Israel has been assailed for not getting aid to Gazans. Policymakers have picked up on this narrative, pushed by the mainstream press. But as CAMERA notes, it is deeply misleading.
Both common sense and experience should tell journalists not to trust Hamas, a genocidal U.S.-designated terrorist group that uses human shields. Both journalists and policymakers, including the U.S. Secretary of State, have warned not to do so. But the Washington Post is advocating for trusting the terror organization.
The Washington Post and Politico are committed to anti-Israel narratives. When it comes to news coverage about the Jewish state, both outlets repeatedly omit and distort facts.
Media outlets, the Washington Post foremost among them, are trying to use Russia's invasion of Ukraine to slander the Jewish state. But as CAMERA tells the Algemeiner: don't let them get away with it.
