As a result of CAMERA's formal complaint to the BBC, the British media giant removed from its Web site major distortions about the US position on Israeli settlements.
A news analysis piece by Helene Cooper erroneously claimed President Bush explicitly sided with Israel on the issue of Palestinian refugees, when in fact he did not even mention refugees.
CAMERA prompted a Los Angeles Times correction today regarding a headline which wrongly stated that Israel rejected a peace offer. The error and correction follow:
The San Francisco Chronicle claims to "strive for accuracy" and promises to "quickly correct errors or misleading statements." Yet its opinion pages serve as a haven for patently inaccurate anti-Israel allegations, and no corrections appear to be forthcoming.
With past Israeli-Palestinian peace plans, the media tended to minimize or ignore Palestinian obligations while highlighting or exaggerating Israeli obligations.
