CAMERA prompts correction at CBS after the network grossly underreported the number of hostages kidnapped Oct. 7 as "roughly 100." Hamas and other terrorists kidnapped 251 hostages on Oct. 7.
UPDATE: After communication from CAMERA staff and members of the public, The Los Angeles Times finally corrects the demonstrably false claim that most of the remaining hostages are soldiers. In fact, the overwhelming majority of those then remaining -- 60 out of 73 -- are civilians.
In response to communication from CAMERA, UPI and McClatchy commendably remove an erroneous reference to hostages held in captivity in the Gaza Strip as "prisoners." The hostages have not committed crimes, are not being held lawfully, and are not awaiting trial.
