The Washington Post's Walter Pincus clambered back on his anti-Israel hobby horse, implying Israel's presumptive nuclear arms program deserved the same treatment as Iran's. False analogies and superficial reasoning -- hallmarks of Pincus' approach to U.S.-Israel relations -- invalidate the commentary. 
When National Public Radio's ombudsman found a three-part news series so flawed it should not have been broadcast as written, the newsroom replied that he should take a hike ... then conceded some of his criticisms. The report was about Indian adoptions in South Dakota, but it could have been about NPR's Arab-Israeli coverage. 
The Washington Post is one of the few major news organizations that still maintains a network of foreign bureaus, and sends U.S.-based correspondents to cover international news. That makes one of its reports on U.S. Secretary of State John F. Kerry's Israeli-Palestinian diplomacy especially disappointing. The Washington Post periodical misinforms readers that in 2008 Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas were close to a peace deal. Never mind that Olmert and Abbas have said just the opposite. Once the paper published a corrective CAMERA letter to the editor, but not lately. 
A New York City mayoral candidate said the West Bank was "disputed territory." The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported that the candidate's position "runs counter to the U.S. government" view. CAMERA's commentary in the Algemeiner explained why JTA was in error. 
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. On June 12, The Washington Post published two solid articles on news involving Israel. But on June 22, the newspaper was back in "Palestinian default mode," Arab-Israeli blinkers firmly in place for "No respite for Palestinian refugees" that had, to be conservative, a few flaws. 
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.
