It was only a single quote from an anonymous, if well-placed source, but it reminded readers of The Washington Post how Saudi Arabia's 20th century history of slavery still ripples through a kingdom perhaps less stable than it would like to appear. 
What ideological kerosene fueled the "Zionism Unsettled" guide by an agency of the Presbyterian Church USA? A CAMERA Op-Ed in The Boston Jewish Advocate and other newspapers connects the dots. Reporting of "al-Nakba Day" usually fails to note to what extent the Arabs' 1948 "catastrophe" was self-imposed. A new mobile phone application, "iNakba," promises to let users take anti-Israel revisionism with them. 
When the two Palestinian movements announced their newest unity pact late in April, news media distinguished 'moderate' Fatah from 'militant' Hamas. But the word The Washington Post and other outlets needed was pragmatic, not moderate. 
A terrorist group chooses a name that implicitly recognizes the Jews' connection to Jerusalem. Journalists consistently mistranslate the name, erasing the religious-historical link. Two recent Washington Post articles indicate how the newspaper continues to avoid unflattering but relevant specifics when reporting on some Muslim American advocacy groups and on repression, including physical mutilation, of women in Arab-Islamic cultures. A play insinuating an Israeli massacre at Tantura in 1948, an allegation determined in court to be libelous, drew enthusiastic Washington Post coverage, again and again. But regardless of "competing narratives," art that rejects facts is inauthentic. So is journalism. Sometimes Washington Post readers must note the date of issue. April Fools' Day, 2014 provided two reports, one on Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard, one on former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, with far too much tricky language. A Washington Post Arts section article managed to mislead readers about the "Tantura massacre" allegation, the nature of CAMERA, and Israeli-Palestinian fact and fiction in general. A CAMERA letter to the editor came to their rescue. 
Twisted coverage of Israel is consistent with the network's indirect connection through its owner to the creation of the Palestinian Hamas terrorist entity sworn to Israel's destruction. The CEO, aiming at the opinion makers, admits to unconcern about profits and viewer ratings.
