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.
A Hamas leader admitted to deliberately engaging in war crimes as a matter of strategy and CNN’s Nic Robertson still made it instead about Israel being bad.
Haaretz had initially reported Hamas' unsubstantiated claim that Israeli hostages were killed during the successful June 8 rescue operation without noting the IDF denial.
