CNN’s coverage portrays three separate standards in the law of armed conflict: a unique, higher standard applied to the Jewish state; the standard applied to the rest of the world; and no standard to Palestinian terrorists who seek to wipe the Jewish state from the face of the earth.
The flip side of widespread false reporting last May that Hamas accepted the ceasefire proposal on the table, ABC fabricates that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has so far rejected President Biden's plan.
The Washington Post recently attacked the parents of Omer Neutra, an American-born IDF tank commander who was taken hostage on October 7th. But its not the first time that the failing newspaper has attacked victims of Hamas.
Israel is the primary obstacle to Palestinian unity, reports AFP, ignoring that Hamas is a terror organization. From Gaza's civilian casualties and food shortages in the north to the Temple Mount's status in Judaism, the wire service fails to safeguard its charter calling for accuracy and impartiality.
In both televised and print reports, Katie Polglase advocates for sanctions on Israel. The televised segment also contained an echo of an ancient antisemitic stereotype.
The CNN anchor invited propagandist Raja Shehadeh to her show, but he didn't honestly answer the question, instead engaging in the manipulative tactic of reversing victim and offender.
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."
Is there an imminent famine in Gaza? How CNN has covered this story over the last four months is illuminating, but not in the sense of discovering the facts. Rather, CNN’s coverage illustrates how the network is leaving its audience both uninformed and misinformed.
CNN authors found it sufficient to largely copy and paste from competing statements without adding any value. To call this lazy journalism isn’t entirely accurate, though. After all, we know that the network will work overtime to concoct bizarre “investigative” reporting riddled with holes, dubious claims, and thin evidence. The amount of effort devoted seems to depend on who the story makes look good or bad.
