Watchdog of the Week: Exposing an Anti-Semitic Image

Our latest Watchdog of the Week goes to Allison Rokin of Toronto, Canada, who alerted us to the anti-Semitic image that accompanied a story on the Daily Beast’s website.

Thanks to Allison’s tip off, HonestReporting was able to prompt the image’s removal by the Daily Beast (see here).

On hearing that she had been awarded the Watchdog of the Week, Allison said:

The insidious nature of anti-Semitism makes images like the one posted by the Daily Beast bigger than a single article. Thank you to HonestReporting for instigating change and fairness in reporting.

And thanks to Allison for alerting us to the image.

HonestReporting monitors an enormous number of media outlets around the world but we still need your help. Let us know if you see something that deserves our attention by contacting us through our Red Alert page and maybe you can be our next Watchdog of the Week.
