The Guardian publicized an extremist NGO's false claims that an Israeli comedian participated in the destruction of a Gaza mosque. If the journalist had done any fact-checking, she would have discovered his reserve service consisted of performing comedy for IDF troops.
CNN has been quick to note it can’t independently verify death tolls in Iran. But when it comes to Gaza, the network has no problem reporting casualty figures from Hamas, a designated terrorist organization.
In less than five minutes, Jeremy Bowen misrepresented the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and one of its founders, erased Hamas ceasefire violations, omitted key context on IDF activity in Gaza and the details of Trump’s Twenty Point Plan, and left listeners with almost no information on the Board of Peace but a clear impression of arbitrary Israeli cruelty.
The Financial Times, according to its own Editorial Code, must distinguish between comment, conjecture, and fact. Yet two recent news articles grossly failed to do that, characterizing the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation as having "failed" as a matter of fact.
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.
Reuters' article about the cancellation of the Adelaide Writers’ Week in Australia completely erases Randa Abdel-Fattah's hateful statements that prompted the festival organizers to disinvite the author. By omitting these statements, Reuters falsely depicts the festival's move as a case of anti-Palestinian discrimination and lays the groundwork for the next attack on the Aussie Jewish community. (Update: Outreach by CAMERA and its members prompted Reuters to update its story.)
Major news organizations keep citing Hamas’ Health Ministry as a reputable source. Hamas is a designated terrorist organization, and the health ministry has a long history of lying about its death toll numbers. So why aren’t journalists more skeptical about the Hamas Health Ministry’s claims?
While the Guardian won’t go all the way toward celebrating Khamenei, his country’s role as an enemy of the Jewish state they loathe means that its editors will never bring themselves to encouraging the downfall of the totalitarian regime and "axis of resistance" he built.
Even after two years of war, the BBC still has no interest in reporting accurately and impartially on the topic of the exploitation of educational buildings (and other public facilities, including hospitals) by terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip in order to facilitate audience understanding of why such buildings may have been damaged or destroyed during that time.
