Reuters' blatantly false and uncorrected claim that Israel carpet-bombed Beirut's southern suburbs was just one of several recent assaults against the media outlet’s stated commitment to “unbiased and reliable news.”
How does Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta's call for regional war square with his reported concern about war's toll on children and why does AP's Abby Sewell conceal his war-mongering sentiment, CAMERA asks in Israel Hayom.
CAMERA prompts corrections in both English and Hebrew after Haaretz wrongly reported that Israeli defense officials had estimated that 300 were killed in the Israeli airstrike which targeted Hassan Nasrallah. In fact, an early Israeli estimated cited 300 casualties (not fatalities) and Lebanese officials cited six fatalities.
Although United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 calls for the disarming of Hezbollah through Lebanon, the New York Times misinforms readers by citing only the part of the resolution calling on the terror group to evacuate southern Lebanon.
The Washington Post is lost in Lebanon. The newspaper's coverage of Israel's recent incursion into Lebanon is rife with errors of omission and misleading misrepresentations. A recent report offers a good example.
A large scale conflict between Israel and Hezbollah would likely result in a substantial loss of life. But as CAMERA tells the Washington Times, a full-scale war could have been averted if only the UN and the Lebanese Armed Forces had done their jobs. They haven't.
CAMERA's Israel office yesterday prompts correction of a Los Angeles Times letter-to-the-editor which fabricated that Lebanese civilians not affiliated with Hezbollah had purchased the exploding pagers.
AP's initial misreporting downplayed Hezbollah attacks targeting Israeli civilians and also obscured Hezbollah losses. Hundreds of thousands of Israelis sought shelter from Hezbollah attacks, not thousands. Previous Hezbollah barrages did not mainly aim at military targets. And Hezbollah lost 16 top members -- not just one -- in Friday's Beirut strike.
On MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Keir Simmons erroneously referred to locations which Hezbollah targeted within internationally-recognized Israeli territory as "settlements." While MSNBC agreed the terminology was wrong, the network declined to broadcast a correction.
Associated Press photo captions depict a south Lebanese site hit in an Israeli airstrike as nothing more than a civilian paramedical center, concealing that Jema'a Islamiya is a designated terror group.
