HonestReporting has been working around the clock to identify and respond to the worst media bias since the appalling events of October 7 and the subsequent launch of Israeli military action against Hamas.
You can already see many of the posts that we’ve published on our website but here’s a roundup of just some of the issues and media outlets that we’ve flagged on social media over the past several days that didn’t make it into full articles.
Make sure to follow us on X/Twitter to get all of our content in real time during this period.
TAKE ACTION NOW: You can make a difference. We’ve included contact details on many of the examples of media bias below. Please send your considered comments to the media and hold them accountable.
Media Refuse to Acknowledge What Really Happened at Gaza Hospital Blast
Why is the blast "shrouded in uncertainty," @CNN?
Why is the word of a terrorist org given equal weight to actual evidence provided by a democratic state and backed up by independent analysis and open-source intelligence?https://t.co/VDlfdMhpwP pic.twitter.com/aHY1JGFS1R

Following its role in inciting against Israel over the hospital blast, @nytimes attempts to exonerate itself by explaining the "difficulty of covering the war."
Actually, it's really not that difficult: Stop rushing to parrot Hamas claims without doing due diligence.… pic.twitter.com/snDgSLJAtw

Is @Reuters too lazy to look at verifiable video evidence & credible open-source intelligence?
Because Reuters only refers to IDF materials, which it says can't be verified independently.
Do some research of your own & stop relying on Hamas statements.https://t.co/TC1N3egLLT

24 hours later and @skysarahjane still says "there's no clarity on who was responsible for last night's blast at a hospital in Gaza."
Seriously, @SkyNews?! "No clarity"? There is no claim and counter-claim. The evidence is clear: Israel did not strike the hospital. pic.twitter.com/ARBFa8yiV3

So @FareedZakaria, given the substantial evidence proving the Gaza hospital wasn't struck by an Israeli missile, do you still "have no idea whether there is a way to objectively figure out what actually happened?" pic.twitter.com/ASoAlgTAuV

Lack of verification didn't stop you rushing to parrot Hamas claims, did it @nytimes?
Stop giving equal weight to the statements of a terror organization. pic.twitter.com/TVbRGKMRKl

Hi, @reuters 👋
This video you're providing to your clients doesn't show anything after an "air strike" because it was an Islamic Jihad rocket that hit a hospital.
As a news agency, if you don't know you can't just make it up and hope for the best. pic.twitter.com/MXR8svvZJU

Hey @CBSNews, it turned out that the Hamas-run Health Ministry lied.
We'll be expecting you to urgently replace the package you've sent to all your affiliates across the US and retrain your journalists to carefully vet the facts before giving credence to a statement from Hamas. pic.twitter.com/Iy7wvpR2Bz

The Intercept Calls Massacre of Jews a ‘Prison Break’
SICKENING: @JamesRisen1 minimizes the mass murder and mutilation of 1,300+ Israelis and the kidnapping of over 150 down to the equivalent of a "prison riot."
Does @theintercept have no moral compass?https://t.co/F0cATlaqdY pic.twitter.com/LhLg8tlb4V

Vice News Reports on a ‘Peaceful Rally’ Calling for End of Israel
Nothing like a "peaceful" rally where demonstrators chant slogans that call for the destruction of Israel.
Doesn't sound very peaceful, does it, @VICENews?https://t.co/wFLEuEMfkE pic.twitter.com/jAfg5tGo0S

Sky News Airs Agitprop Interview
What is also appalling and horrifying is @KayBurley allowing Ghada Karmi to spread such vicious agitprop on @SkyNews.
Israel is not "taking advantage" of Hamas' despicable crimes. This is a war that Hamas forced on Israel & there is simply no "plan to expel the people of Gaza." https://t.co/FW69ZlNppQ

New York Times Ignores Palestinian Terror in West Bank
Israeli settler attacks on Huwara are condemnable.
As are the constant Palestinian terror attacks from Huwara on Israelis.
So why does @nytimes fail to mention those?https://t.co/Kx6K4gKSTn pic.twitter.com/W5cnuCpJ24
