Via HonestReporting: The last HonestReporting long-term analysis of the New York Times was released in November of 2007. At the time, we found that there were several disturbing patterns in how the Times reported events in the Middle East. Our conclusion was that the treatment of Israeli and Palestinian actions was so different, that there could be no question that the reporting was favoring the Palestinians rather than remaining impartial. We highlighted specific cases where headlines dealing with Israeli or Palestinian actions were written in different styles. We also noted that the vast majority of images used by the Times

Via HonestReporting. com: The iconic images of Mohammad al-Dura’s alleged death in Gaza inflamed Palestinian sentiment and provoked terrible bloodshed. Despite the evidence that Israel was not responsible for firing the bullets that hit al-Dura, and doubts as to the credibility of the footage taken from the scene, this libel has continued to prevail.HonestReporting has brought you the news directly from the trial of Philippe Karsenty, who accused France 2 and its reporter Charles Enderlin of knowingly broadcasting doctored footage of the al-Dura incident.To recall, France 2 successfully sued

The NY Times owns a classical music radio station, WQXR, and the station’s manager turned down an advertisement that is part of the series that the American Jewish Committee has been airing on hundreds of stations around the country. The ad the Times turned down was about the rain of rockets that has been directed at the civilian population of Sderot. The Times’s radio station manager, Tom Bartunek, wrote to the American Jewish Committee that the ad might be “misleading, at least to the

Among the news outlets jumping on the bandwagon are those that have previously been accused of deliberately attempting to stir up anti-Semitism through false and inflammatory coverage of Israel. They include several British-owned or British-based media. For example, at the present time the following headlines can be found on these websites: Reuters: Israel minister warns Palestinians of “shoah” The BBC: Israel warns of Gaza ‘holocaust’ The Guardian: Israeli minister warns of Palestinian ‘holocaust’ The Times

Before 1991, the Times reported that the Croatian Ustashe(clerical-fascists) murdered some 800,000 people, Serbs, Jews, andRoma, as well as antifascists of all backgrounds, in the Jasenovacdeath camp complex. After 1991, the Times and other media reported that some “tens ofthousands” (or sometimes 80,000, or 85,000) were killed. A 90% cut.Enough to make a Holocaust denier green with envy. At the same time, the Times

From The Calgary Sun: A Western ally in the Middle East, armed with U.S. weapons, attacked Muslim guerrillas in a Palestinian refugee camp last week, killing seven. Is that big news? The answer, this time, is “no”. No Western newspaper has run a banner headline about a “massacre,” no emergency meetings of the United Nations have been convened, and Canada’s deep thinkers on human rights, Michael Ignatieff and Louise Arbour, have not declared the military action to be a war crime. That’s because the Western ally
