CAMERA prompts correction of a Los Angeles Times article which inaccurately reported that "Hamas had accepted terms of a cease-fire." As the U.S. State Department made explicitly clear: "Hamas did not accept a ceasefire proposal."
UPDATE: CAMERA prompts corrections of AFP and Getty photograph captions which whitewashed a New York City demonstrator waving a Hamas flag and sporting a Hamas headband as a "[p]ro-Palestinian" demonstrator. The corrected captions make his Hamas affiliation clear.
Two days after UPI’s Adam Schrader completely ignored that Hamas fired rockets towards Kerem Shalom even as he blamed Israel exclusively for the humanitarian crises facing Gazans, CAMERA prompts the news agency to cover the terror organization’s deadly attack on the crossing for the first time.
Reuters "adds context" about Hamas' massive Oct. 7 attacks to a Facebook post which cites "the war Israel launched against Hamas." While the inclusion of Hamas' Oct. 7 atrocities is certainly a significant improvement, it should be noted that Israel didn’t “launch” a war, Hamas did.
Haaretz amends after falsely reporting that Netanyahu's statements about the possibility of deporting Hamas leadership applied to Gaza residents, a fallacious claim which provided tailwind to South Africa's unfounded genocide charge.
AFP improves coverage after initially demoting terror commanders killed alongside Salah Al-Arouri to "bodyguards" and omitting the Hamas deputy's second claim to infamy: founding the terror organization's military wing.
While Agence France Presse neglects to correct an article which underreported that Hamas captured "dozens" of hostages, subsequent AFP articles accurately cite 240 hostages. VOA, unlike AFP, commendably corrects.
Are Hamas supporters chanting "from the river to the sea" misrepresenting Hamas' goal? Not at all. AFP corrects after ludicrously reporting that Yahya Sinwar's "dream" is a Palestinian state in the Gaza Strip, West Bank and eastern Jerusalem.
“No one has correct numbers, that’s not possible anymore,” Health Ministry official Mehdat Abbas told AP. “Who can count the bodies and release the death toll in a press conference?” And yet it's business as usual at Reuters, which keeps on reporting mysterious casualty statistics attributed to "authorities in Gaza" and "health officials."
