Vote for This Year’s Dishonest Reporter
November 22, 2011 14:09 by Pesach Benson
Now’s the time to vote for the 2011 Dishonest Reporting Awards — our annual recognition of the year’s most skewed and biased coverage of Israel and the Mideast conflict.
Please choose one of the three nominees below, along with a brief explanation why it deserves to receive our ignoble award. (You may also nominate someone else not on the list).
There are three ways to vote:
- Post a comment below
- Post a comment on HonestReporting’s Facebook page
- Send an email to action@honestreporting.com
The Nominees (in no particular order)
LA Times: For a staff-editorial which blamed settlements for the Itamar massacre, in which a three-month old baby, two small children and their parents were brutally murdered.
Reuters: For redefining terror after a fatal Jerusalem bombing.
The Guardian: For it’s very active role in the PaliLeaks affair, Deborah Orr‘s anti-Semitic take on the Gilad Shalit prisoner swap, a staff-editorial misrepresenting the UN’s Goldstone report, and a laundry list of other reasons.
We’ll announce the ignoble “winner” in a few weeks.
For a trip down memory lane, see who HonestReporting readers gave the 2010 award to.

Gruniad wins closely followed by Reuters. Why isn’t Al-Beeb a contender? They surely deserve an honourable mention as the gaggle of government funded PC socialist antisemites most likely to win an Iranian media award.

My vote is for the Guardian as I was most disturbed by Deobrah Oar’s commentary which was extremely rude and Anti- Semetic and Anti – Israel.

I would vote for Reuters, not because they wre, and are, worse than the otheres, but because they have greater influence, since, like AFP, Tass and others, they reach many medias.

My vote goes to the LA Times. The most anti-Semitic American newspaper I have ever read.

I think The Guardian should be the candidate (as you said they have a “laundry list” of notes quite antisemites, but as Reuters is by far more influencial (as many use them as a source) my vote is for Reuters.
