Whether writing about 1948 or 2024, some CNN journalists have a hard time acknowledging Palestinian and Arab aggression against Israel. Perhaps it’s because they aren’t interested in reporting the truth. Perhaps they’re simply interested in advancing a partisan narrative.
In the LA Times, Rabbi Aryeh Cohen castigates the alleged sins of the American Jewish community for "indiscriminately support[ing] the state of Israel, even though in January the International Court of Justice found it plausible that the Israeli government was committing genocide." In fact, that the ICJ in no way determined that Israel is plausibly committing genocide.
When Hamas halved its casualty figures following an Israeli strike on three of its senior leaders most major media outlets followed suit. But CBS News chose to leave readers in the dark.
CAMERA prompts correction of an egregious bogus quote at Reuters echoing Hamas' false claim that Itamar Ben-Gvir announced plans for a Temple Mount synagogue. But the news agency has yet to correct the inflammatory falsehood that the far-right Israeli minister called for Jewish prayer in the Al-Aqsa mosque.
After a vague "clarification," the article is still misleading as to the frequency of the use of this weapon. Military expert John Spencer called it "a very commonly used tool."
CAMERA prompts correction after UPI falsely reported that United Nations said "nearly 500" West Bank Palestinians were killed in settler-related incidents since Oct. 7. In fact, the UN cited seven fatalities. McClatchy subsequently corrects on more than two dozen sites.
Journalists have often contrasted the fighting in Gaza with the American fighting in Iraq. They have often done so misleadingly. We take a closer look.
CNN has corrected the false claim that, “the International Court of Justice says it’s ‘plausible’ Israel is committing genocide” in Gaza three times already, yet a May 15 article repeats it again.
When the International Court of Justice issued an order on January 26 in the “genocide” case between South Africa and Israel, it soon became common knowledge that the ICJ had found it “plausible” that Israel was committing “genocide.” This common knowledge, however, was in fact a myth.
