With an absurd claim about purported aspirations for peace between Hamas and Israel and a ludicrous assertion that far-right Israeli Minister Smotrich supposedly kicked off a campaign promoting Jewish "colonialism," AP and AFP hilariously get into the spirit of Purim.
KCPQ reporter Matthew Smith, of Fox News' Seattle affiliate, egregiously inflated the Palestinian death toll during the Israel-Hamas war as "hundreds of thousands.” He also failed to challenge an activist's genocide libel and grotesque invention that "nearly half" the population was "wiped out."
In Reuters' latest instance of minimizing anti-Israel terror, the news agency understates the number of Israelis murdered in Hamas suicide bombings, citing "scores." In fact, the figure is hundreds.
Margaret Brennan of "Face the Nation" significantly overstates CPJ's figure for journalists killed in Gaza and ignores that even according to the organization's own information the list includes scores of terror operatives.

The AP's new and enthusiastic embrace of misleading terminology labelling an Arab town in Israel as "Palestinian" is a worrying sign of anti-Israel discourse gaining ground in the effort to undermine Israel's sovereignty and internationally recognized territory.
CAMERA prompts correction of an Associated Press article which wrongly stated that the Iranian-backed Houthis of Yemen "sat out" the June 2025 war between Iran and Israel. In fact, the terror organization targeted Israel with ballistic missile attacks.
The AP article on Israel's move to legalize the Yatziv outpost notes that "fittingly, the new settlement’s name means 'stable' in Hebrew." Unfortunately, AP's reporting on the disputed site flounders in factual instability.
CAMERA prompts a correction of an AP article which cherry-picked a gloomy, disputed and dated figure about the Gaza Strip's food security situation. The news agency's clarification that the IPC figure is older than originally reported reached over 100 news sites across the U.S. and beyond.
