In a single CNN broadcast, Christiane Amanpour permitted guests to accuse the "Zionist government" of executing a "final solution," ignored extensive evidence of Hamas operating in the exact hospitals where her doctor guests volunteered, and concealed critical source biases.
CNN cited the Reporters Without Borders index to illustrate a decline in Israeli press freedom. But why is Israel ranked lower than Qatar and even Western Sahara on the Reporters Without Borders Index?
In reporting on a pianist's failed lawsuit after his performance was canceled following an on-stage proclamation that Israel was targeting journalists in Gaza, The New York Times cited to the Committee for the Protection of Journalists. The paper failed to acknowledge the organization was conducting a review after Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad claimed many "journalists" as their fighters.
From the Committee to Protect Journalists to the news outlets sympathetically covering them (with senior journalists on their board), Hamas terrorists have been misrepresented as journalists.
The BBC chose not to tell its audiences about the CPJ review into the deaths of journalists in Gaza. Why is an institution committed to impartiality obscuring the truth?
The BBC fails to do basic fact checking on fresh claims of targeting journalists in Gaza, a failure which illustrates a much deeper and more insidious problem than simply erosion of journalistic standards.
May 20, Palestinian Islamic Jihad published another list of dead commanders, including Ibrahim Jamal Ibrahim al-Sheikh Ali. BBC still lists him as a slain journalist.
BBC promotes the politically motivated, false narrative that Israel "targets journalists" by concealing the relevant context such as military roles, terrorist affiliations, family terror links or location.
In an interview with a Hezbollah leader, a group that is recognized as a terrorist organization by the United States, PBS posed open-ended questions and engaged in polite, civil discourse. This contrasted sharply with a PBS interview of Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon, which was marked with hostility and accusations masked as questions.
