CNN Corrects on UNRWA’s Refugee Definition, Numbers
Given CNN’s fondness for investigations, one is left to wonder: why isn’t CNN devoting any substantial effort to holding UNRWA to account by asking the hard questions of the agency?
Media Corrections
Accuracy and accountability are among the most important tenets of journalism. In combination, they mean media organizations are expected to publish or broadcast forthright corrections after sharing inaccurate information. The following corrections are among the many prompted by CAMERA’s communication with reporters and editors.
Haaretz Clarifies: Gunmen Who Killed East Jerusalem Arabs Were Palestinians
Haaretz's English edition amends an article which had failed to identify Palestinian gunmen as responsible for the fatal West Bank shootings of east Jerusalem Arabs, leaving readers to wrongly assume that Israeli settlers were the culprits.
Media Outlets Correct Yoav Gallant Misquote on Eliminating Hamas
Following last week's New York Times correction of Megan Stack's Op-Ed falsely quoting Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant calling for the annihilation of the Gaza Strip, CAMERA has prompted additional corrections at NPR, Salt Lake Tribune and The Telegraph (London).
Bloomberg Deletes Incendiary ‘Israel Genocide’ Headline
In response to communication from CAMERA, Bloomberg commendably moves swiftly to remove an incendiary News Now podcast headline referring to "Israel Genocide."
Haaretz Corrects False Report Claiming Netanyahu Weighing Deportation of Gaza Residents
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 Posthumously Demotes Hamas Commanders to Bodyguards
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.
New York Times Reporters Act as Hamas Stenographers, Forget to Omit ‘Israeli Occupation Forces’
The deletion of the telling "occupation forces" slip-up can't conceal the writers' devotion to serving as obedient Hamas mouthpieces. When it comes to Hamas talking points, buzzing flies prove dead bodies. But when it comes to Israeli claims, even weapons can't prove weapons.
Following Contact from CAMERA, Washington Post Corrects on Disproportionate Bombing Claim
The Washington Post belatedly corrects on an inaccurate claim meant to make the IDF's bombing campaign in Gaza look disproportionate. It turns out that relying on a collector of Nazi memorabilia, whose history of anti-Israel bias is a matter of public record, was a poor decision.
CNN Corrects Video and Written Reports Falsely Claiming a Palestinian Terrorist Was Never Charged
CAMERA promptly alerted the network to a significant error in an video report about released Palestinian prisoners. Instead of a correction, the day after CAMERA’s communication, the network went on to publish a written version of the report, prominently featuring the same exact error in the first two sentences. CAMERA has now acquired and provided the network with conclusive evidence that the claim is false.
AFP Improves Coverage After Understating Number of Hostages As ‘Dozens’
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.
