Zero accountability at Sky News
Sky’s decision not to issue an on-air correction, and either remove or edit the various versions of Hakim’s misinformation on civilian deaths in Lebanon at the time, means that Sky viewers, and their social media followers, will continue to be grossly misled.
Sky News admits error on Lebanon death toll, but won’t correct on-air
Sky News journalist Yalda Hakim acknowledged that she got it wrong when claiming that the IDF had killed "300 civilians" - but seems to think there's no need to formally correct the error.
Sky’s Alex Crawford continues to promote Hezbollah messaging
In the 15 years we’ve been monitoring British media coverage of Israel, a March 29 segment by Sky News’ Alex Crawford denying the Hezbollah affiliation of a “journalist” killed in Lebanon represents one of the most egregious examples we’ve seen of a mainstream outlet actively promoting the PR messaging of a proscribed terror group.
Christmas in Bethlehem Narratives Hide PA, Islamist Abuse of Christians

British outlets bury terror affiliation of Anas Al-Sharif
Most British media ignored IDF evidence that Anas Al-Sharif, a Hamas commander operating under the guise of an Al Jazeera reporter, was the head of a terrorist cell responsible for rocket attacks. Instead, outlets largely described him as a “journalist,” omitting the long-documented overlap between Hamas operatives and Gaza-based reporters.
How the Media Breathed New Life into Hamas’s War Effort
Propagandistic headlines of the past week that exaggerate suffering and put the blame only on one side have most likely served only to prolong the war, along with the misery on both sides.
How the BBC (and others) fell for another Hamas narrative
Western media rushed to run with unsubstantiated claims of Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians – relying on ‘Gaza authorities’ and ignoring countervailing evidence.
