The Washington Post: An In-Depth Analysis
September 19, 2010 22:00 by ManagingTeam
The Washington Post is one of the most influential news organizations in the world.
So it is alarming that it is often anti-Israel propaganda that the Post covers rather than the straight facts. Why can’t the Washington Post stick to the truth?

We looked at every aspect of the Post’s coverage of the Palestinian-Israeli issue. What we saw was that the reporting frequently failed to pass standards of objectivity in four specific areas:
Frequently, those making claims against Israel far overwhelmed sources that tried to explain Israel’s positions.Key context was often missing leaving readers without extensive background in the history of the Middle East and wondering if the conflict began in 1967.
3) Inaccurate Terms
Misleading terms were used and important facts left out.
4) Omission of Key Facts
Key facts about incidents were often left out giving a biased reflection of events.
These elements of bias mean that readers of the Post were more likely to be misled by its coverage than informed.

I laugh every single time I read your false news. You claim to be ‘honest’, but for each and every article, I do in-depth research as a professional journalist…and guess what? ALWAYS, your version is full of manipulated facts, blatant lies, significant twists (e.g. omission of pertinent facts that would render your reporting meaningless), and fabrications. NOT a single article of yours is honest, in fact, they are all far from anything remotely true. If you think intelligent people will believe your propaganda, that’s even more hilarious. You don’t fool people, you only shoot yourselves in the foot. You are solely responsible for delegitimising yourselves.
