USA Today’s editorial page writers apparently weren’t reading their paper’s news coverage of Israel's “Operation Preventive Edge” against Hamas’ attacks. An editorial and Op-Ed made similar, dangerously foolish points. USA Today’s hard news and feature coverage of Israel's “Operation Preventive Edge” was better than that of many wealthier or “prestigious” competitors. Too bad the editorial page apparently wasn't reading it (See “Exhibit B,” July 16). 
A terrorist group chooses a name that implicitly recognizes the Jews' connection to Jerusalem. Journalists consistently mistranslate the name, erasing the religious-historical link. 
CAMERA's Washington DC office prompts correction of a USA Today article in which the Green Line, an armistice line, was incorrectly described as an internationally recognized border. 
Laudatory obituaries for Helen Thomas, first female White House reporter for a major news service, minimized her 2010 anti-Israel, anti-Jewish outburst. They noted her "apology" but omitted her retraction. And Thomas' unprofessional hostility to the Jewish state went largely unreported. 
Early news reporting about Iranian president-elect Hassan Rouhani tossed around "moderate," "pragmatist" and "centrist." It was left too often to opinion writers and think tank analysts to supply journalistic details. USA Today's coverage of pressure on singer Alicia Keys not to perform in Israel read like a Palestinian propaganda release, which it echoed. CAMERA's letter to the editor spotlighted the anti-Zionist falsehoods. CAMERA commends USA Today for its correction of an article which grossly understated the number of Palestinians entering Israel for work and medical treatment. 
What's the difference -- in news media coverage -- between Kashmir and the West Bank? It seems to be that, for the press, the former is "disputed" territory but the latter is "occupied." Yet sovereignty over the West Bank most definitely is unresolved and disputed.
