Robert Fisk: Telling it Like it Isn’t

Robert Fisk, the notoriously anti-Israel journalist, wrote a column charging that Israel's friends have successfully influenced the semantics of Middle East coverage by American journalists, supposedly leading to "journalistic obfuscation" to the detriment of the Palestinians. Underlying Fisk's ire about American coverage is the reality that from his perspective as an extreme pro-Palestinian partisan, reporting by U.S. media is insufficiently tilted in the direction he prefers.

UPDATED: Mazin Qumsiyeh Lacks Credibility

Twice within two weeks, newspapers have had to correct false statements by anti-Israel activist Mazin Qumsiyeh. These two corrections, along with the many other erroneous statements by Qumsiyeh which have passed uncorrected, reveal a disregard for facts that should be a red flag for those considering reading–or publishing–his diatribes. Update: Qumsiyeh responds to CAMERA's critique.

The Al Dura Affair: France 2 Misleads About U.S. Congressional Report

The name "Mohammed Al Dura" has become synonymous with Palestinian "martydom," thanks to the deceptive news coverage of  France 2. Rather than admitting its guilt in broadcasting a false report, the French government-owned network is mired in a deceptive cover-up. In an email viewer, France 2 falsely alleged that an "authoritative American opinion" by the US government "discredits" the IDF conclusion that Al Dura was not killed by Israeli bullets.
