Is a crude game, only available on obscure websites, really comparable to popular news shows in which glory is heaped on those who commit murder?
Two upstate New York newspapers refuse to acknowledge that they have published an openly anti-Semitic letter promoting conspiracy theories.
For a prominent journalist such as Rudoren to endorse language that uses the words “Palestinian assailants” and “Palestinian attackers” is a welcome change. (Although ideally, we would prefer the term “terrorist.”)
I used to think a violent loop was something associated with dangerous roller coasters. But
CNN reports on a terrorist incident but fails to tell its readers who the seemingly anonymous terrorist was.
My Facebook “conversation” with NYT’s Jodi Rudoren in which she used the term “basketball game scorecard” to describe coverage “out of kilter with reality.”
The Independent writes that “Israeli occupation forces” have killed Palestinians, buying into Palestinian propaganda terminology.
The media have an obligation to not only report what people are saying, but what is really happening on the ground. If one side is saying things that have no basis in fact, the media needs to expose this, not simply say “it depends who you ask,” or “on the other hand…..”
After filing a lawsuit, lawyer Nistana Darshan-Leitner wants to force Facebook to remove posts calling for the killing of Jews.
As Palestinians protest on the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, the Daily Mail omits the Jewish historical connection to Eretz Yisrael.
The cultural boycott is the most insidious part of the BDS strategy against Israel. There
“The Dueling Narratives of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict” is an attempt to provide journalistic “balance” on a story where none exists.
The Independent erroneously states that the al-Aqsa mosque is “known as Temple Mount to Jews.”
Academics Steven Levitsky and Glen Weyl claim to be Zionists and Israel supporters yet promote maximalist BDS on the pages of the Washington Post.
In response to recent criticism, NPR produces a positive story on Israeli terror victims. It still, however, needed a correction secured by HonestReporting.
The Daily Mail’s headline describes the shooting dead of a Palestinian terrorist as “retaliation” for stabbing a female soldier.
It is part of a larger wave of biased reporting that sees “The Return of Casualty Figures as a Moral Barometer.” In other words, the simple belief that the side with the greater number of casualties is necessarily the side with the greater moral claim.
The New York Times incorrectly describes the Western Wall rather than the Temple Mount, as Judaism’s holiest site.
