NBC, CNN, and AP all committed the same blunder this week: sourcing their reports using testimony from both a Hamas-linked organization, and an infamous spokesman in Gaza who Israel alleges is an active member of Hamas' military wing. The kicker? They didn't inform the reader of his terror connections.
Mancini also failed to scrutinize any of El-Sayed’s arguments. The old rule in journalism, “If your mother says she loves you, check it out,” is no longer operational.
CAMERA noted that The New York Times met its standards with regard to source attribution for claimed Israeli casualties, but not for Lebanese casualties. The New York Times amended its coverage as a result.
The New York Times keeps trying to figure out why the U.S. went to war with Iran. Having proposed multiple answers, it now offers another one -- producing confusion instead of clarity.
The fact that the Guardian promoted a book premised on conspiratorial tropes about Jerusalem’s putative control of Washington speaks volumes about the outlet’s continuing willingness to trade in antisemitic calumnies normally assigned to the extremist fringes.
Despite its own reporting on Hamas embedding weapons and fighters in Gaza's civilian population, The New York Times still qualifies this is an Israeli accusation, rather than fact.
The Washington Post recently falsely reported that the majority of those killed in za were women and children. After CAMERA contacted the Post, the paper corrected the mistaken language. Twice.
This week, NBC's Gabe Gutierrez insinuated that Israel was trying to "drag" the United States into a conflict it didn't want to be in. But President Trump's own statements, and U.S. military actions over the past few weeks, prove this to be false framing.
In a supposed overview of Israel's military engagements in four fronts over the last 25 years, NPR left out critical, historical facts. The result was a report that focused only on Israel's present military positions, without explaining what transpired between then and now.
