Multiple levels of hearsay now suffices for reporting, according to NPR. In lowering its standards, it repeated false statistics that it did not bother to fact-check.
In covering the U.N. Commission of Inquiry’s report, “‘The essence of childhood has been destroyed’: Israel’s deliberate targeting of Palestinian children in the Occupied Palestinian Territory since 7 October, 2023,” The New York Times, CNN, Reuters, and NBC blindly parroted its contents while completely ignoring critical questions and counter-critiques.
An ABC News brief on the news organization's website reported the death of one United Nations peacekeeper in Lebanon from a mortar attack. The report used passive language and refrained from ascribing blame to Hezbollah.
The New York Times has published a lot of biased journalism over the years. We at CAMERA know this plenty well. But the egregiousness of Kristof’s column shocks even us. Retracting it is necessary, but far from sufficient. Kristof has demonstrated he has no business being employed in the world of journalism. His editors have similarly demonstrated their complete lack of fitness for their roles.
NPR surveyed the damage in southern Lebanon while escorted by a Hezbollah propagandist. Its report ignored Hezbollah's human shield strategy, attacks on Israel and how the terror group's tactics mirror those of Hamas.
U.S. media outlets repeatedly push claims that Israel has provided “no evidence” of UNRWA-Hamas ties. These claims are easily disproven by publicly available information. Ultimately, these reports serve to shield UNRWA from scrutiny.
NBC News reported that the entire Gaza Strip was still at risk of starvation despite the IPC's own reports and the recent United Nations' acknowledgment that 100% of food needs in Gaza have been met.
Stories of the abuse of Israeli hostages continue emerging, Iran's interference in Iraqi elections grows, and Israel and India to ink a major defense deal. Plus: as the horrors in Sudan finally start making the headlines, we recall another time the world overlooked atrocities elsewhere to fixate on the Jewish state.
The UN’s latest “genocide” report recycles disproven claims about the percentage of those killed in Gaza who are civilians, a lie used to buttress their accusation. By citing the Guardian’s farcical statistic while erasing Hamas’s atrocities, the Commission’s report represents propaganda dressed up as law.
