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.

Actually, @nytimes, Gallant said: “I am determined to make every effort to return the hostages to their families. This is my supreme obligation, along with the effort for absolute victory in the war.”@PatrickKingsley, pls correct your mistaken assertion.https://t.co/oD5PoAN7GA pic.twitter.com/kJ7lPjV6Qa

LA Times Whitewashes Hamas Terrorist
"Ali was no militant, his friends & family say, despite the posters extolling his prowess as a 'hero' & a 'mujahed.'"
But those sure look like Hamas flags & bandanas in the photo, @latimes.

Medical Journal Needs Serious Treatment
Why has @GlobalHealthBMJ decided to politicize healthcare with a paper so ridden with errors and bias that it defies belief that it past any editorial or peer review?

VOA Forgets Who’s Behind Al Jazeera
Hey @VOANews, how is it possible to broadcast a segment on Israeli plans to shutter Al Jazeera's bureau and fail to mention that the media outlet is owned and run by Qatar?https://t.co/Jsc4Ctitfj

NY Times Bureau Chief Fails to Implement New Style Guide
While the rest of @nytimes journalists have finally bought into mentioning that the Gaza health ministry is Hamas-run, the only one to 'forget' to include this today is Jerusalem bureau chief @PatrickKingsley.
That's a bad example to be setting. https://t.co/FkDiPPzW6X pic.twitter.com/kijCCyqUro

Reuters Claims to Be Unable to Verify Israeli Casualty Figures
.@Reuters cannot independently verify Gazan casualty figures. Why? Because Hamas lies & is not a credible source.
But why can't it verify Israeli casualty figures where a well-organized & credible health system is meticulously documenting each & every death, including names? 🧵 pic.twitter.com/137CPmqu8D

AP Misinterprets IDF Warning to Gazans
The IDF clarified many days ago (see tweet below) that it does not consider any Palestinian civilians who fail to evacuate to be "accomplices" of Hamas.
Did @AP not get the memo or is it just content to spread malicious misinformation?https://t.co/vGL8dKqnN2 https://t.co/CfoFZw4RzI pic.twitter.com/1FGrnmGgVR

Sky News Interviews an Antisemite
Anti-Israel public opinion isn't the only thing @SALHACHIMI is happy about. One glance at his social media shows how excited he was when Hamas terrorists were murdering Israeli civilians (which he denies).
Does nobody at @SkyNews bother to do due diligence on studio guests? 🧵 https://t.co/1gPDvA7fSV

NY Times Investigation Comes to No Conclusion
Only a day after its "apology" for failing to report the Gaza hospital blast accurately, @nytimes attempts to muddy the waters further with an "analysis" that can't even come to any real conclusions.
The Times is obsessed with trying to pin it on Israel.… pic.twitter.com/4XjJIIGePu
