Reuters closes the curtain on 2023 with rough reporting on aid to the Gaza Strip, the implications of Israeli control over the narrow Philadelphi corridor border area, and "Palestine" statehood.
A Vice Arabia "explainer" by Badar Salem falsely legitimizes Hamas' Oct. 7 atrocities as legal under international law. Vice defends the fallacious and dangerous "explainer" as "opinion," though it's not labeled as such.
Two CNN reporters spin the disturbing results showing widespread Palestinian support for the October 7 attack by Palestinian terrorist organizations by suggesting support for the attack doesn’t actually mean they support the atrocities that characterized the attack. This isn't journalism. This is damage control.
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.
AP's effort to pass off the Palestinian-Israeli conflict as the Middle Eastern doppelgänger of the civil rights movement, with the Palestinians playing the part of Black Americans battling against racism, is nothing short of a parody of journalism.
Reuters' recent misreporting includes a factual error (no, Houthi attacks did not hit Eilat), an egregious double standard on casualty reporting, and whitewashing Palestinian combatants plus Hamas' brutal takeover.
Oliver calls for a ceasefire even while acknowledging that, if given the chance, Hamas will repeat the atrocities of October 7. His words show a deep callousness toward Jewish life.
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.
Even as Reuters and Associated Press are quick to report Hamas' questionable claims of Israeli truce violations, they turn a blind eye to Israeli complaints of Hamas' violation: the terror organization has separated families and released a child without her mother.
The Committee to Protect Journalists falsifies that Israeli journalists murdered by Hamas while sheltering at home or enjoying themselves at a dance party were killed by a "political party" while on "dangerous assignment."
