11/27 Update: Prompted by CAMERA's critique, PolitiFact and Poynter reviewed, archived and replaced a story that had misled readers on several counts and suggested there was no merit to the charge that Hamas decapitated Israeli babies.
NPR's "State of the World" podcast conducted exactly one interview of a leader in 2024 and one in 2025 - both were softball interviews of Bassem Naim, a U.S.-sanctioned Hamas terrorist.
While Amnesty International has explicitly labeled Israel’s actions in Gaza a “genocide,” the organization’s recently published report on Oct. 7 omitted years of statements by Hamas leaders and language from its charter demonstrating genocidal intent against Jews.
We expect the Guadian's coverage of Mamdani – the member of a radical-left political party which effectively supported Hamas’ massacre – over the next four years to resemble their coverage of the former Labour Party leader, highlighted by their editors’ near religious belief in the doctrine that socialists, progressives, and collectivists, by definition, can’t be antisemites.

The Telegraph recently reported on a CAMERA study of headlines to reports published on the BBC News website’s dedicated “Israel-Gaza war” page in the two years following the outbreak of the war between Hamas and Israel.
Days after Oct. 7th, 2023, the Guardian began centering the story on the putatively "disproportionate" Israeli military response to the Hamas massacre, rather than on the genocidal terror group’s mass murder, sexual violence, torture and mutilation itself.
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.
