(Townhall) We’ve seen the bias in the media against Israel for years. The phantom cars that plow into civilians at bus stops, along with a near-allergic disposition to identifying who is committing terrorist attacks, reared its ugly head when the Stabbing Intifada began in 2015. Anti-Israel voices are infesting our newsrooms, leading to some serious foul-ups, like peddling fake news about the IDF striking a hospital in Gaza. You cannot rely on facts and figures delivered by Hamas.
The irony is that some of these publications have printed some decent pieces about the horrors committed by the terror group during their October 7 attack, which led to this recent war in the Gaza Strip. How could reporters from these publications draft an open letter like this, which accuses Israel of murdering their colleagues? It also urged that words like “apartheid” and “genocide” be used as part of the Israel-Hamas coverage, two demonstrably false things. But it exposes what we already know about the industry: it’s not about facts; it’s about manufacturing fake left-wing narratives (via NY Post):

Israel doesn’t intentionally target civilians. They’ve had hours-long pauses to allow civilians to reach safety long before the Biden White House tried to take credit for it. Here’s what The Washington Post reported about Hamas’ atrocities in Israel last month—there are nearly 1,000 idiots who don’t read their own publications’ reporting:
