HonestReporting

HonestReporting keeps a close watch on news coverage related to the Arab-Israeli conflict, looking for bias, inaccuracies, or any violations of journalistic standards. The organization also aids foreign journalists who are reporting from the region. Importantly, HonestReporting operates independently, without ties to any government, political party, or movement. The organization firmly believes that an informed public is crucial for progress and understanding in resolving conflicts. Simply correcting false reports and highlighting ethical violations isn't enough. Through its MediaCentral initiative, HonestReporting offers valuable assistance to journalists working in or visiting Israel, the Palestinian territories, and surrounding areas, ensuring that information flows freely. HonestReporting's mission serves the public good by combating misinformation, including digitally altered images that can mislead people about the conflict. Additionally, it provides unbiased support to reporters, such as translation services and connections to key figures, helping them present a more comprehensive view of the situation. With a subscriber base of over 140,000, HonestReporting's MediaCentral project addresses more than 1,000 inquiries from journalists each year.

1 week ago | honestreporting.com | Gil Hoffman

Knesset member Azmi Bishara fled Israel dramatically in 2007 to avoid prosecution for accepting payment in exchange for giving Hezbollah information about strategic locations in Israel to target during the previous year’s Second Lebanon War. Bishara was caught advising the Iranian-backed terror group on how to aim its rockets more accurately to hit substantial targets in the very country where he served as a member of parliament. Eighteen years later, no Bishara is needed.

On Friday, June 6, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) launched a series of coordinated raids across Los Angeles, detaining dozens of individuals accused of being in the United States illegally.

The Desperation of Piers Morgan: Shouting Down Natasha Hausdorff Was No Off-Script Meltdown

2 weeks ago | honestreporting.com | Rachel O'Donoghue

There was a time — possibly — when the brand of journalism practiced by Piers Morgan could be described as “provocative.” That was the idea, at least. Deliberately so. Morgan rose to prominence in 1994, when at just 29, he became the youngest editor of a British national newspaper, appointed to helm News of the World by Rupert Murdoch.

3 weeks ago | honestreporting.com | Chaim Lax

Greta Thunberg is on her way to save the people of Gaza. The 22-year-old Swedish climate crusader is one of 12 anti-Israel activists sailing to the Gaza Strip on the vessel Madleen, allegedly to bring aid to the embattled enclave and to challenge Israel’s naval blockade. Even though the boat is still days away from reaching the coast, it is already making news due to the high-profile status of some of those onboard.
48 Hours, Two Blood Libels: Aid Site Massacres Faked by Hamas, Spread by the Media

3 weeks ago | honestreporting.com | Rachel O'Donoghue

Over the span of just two days, the BBC, along with several other outlets, reported two alleged massacres of Palestinian civilians at humanitarian aid sites in Gaza. Both stories have spread rapidly and continue to do so. Both are false. And both reflect a deeply broken journalistic process that prioritizes sensationalism over accuracy and gives greater weight to terrorist propaganda than to verified facts. Let’s start with the facts.
Guy Christensen: The Gen-Z TikTok Star Inciting His 3.4 Million Followers to Murder 'Zionists'

1 month ago | honestreporting.com | Rachel O'Donoghue

You may not have heard of Guy Christensen — but perhaps you should have. Not because he has anything remotely insightful to offer (he doesn’t), but because millions of Gen Z users do hear him, every day. And understanding who he is helps explain why so many American college campuses have become incubators for a movement that is less “progressive” than it is unapologetically pro-Islamist.

1 month ago | honestreporting.com | Rachel O'Donoghue

The New York Times. NBC News. TIME Magazine. The Guardian. ABC News. The Independent. All supposedly reputable news organizations. All of them published, uncritically, one of the most grotesque and easily disprovable claims made during the war between Israel and Hamas — that 14,000 babies in Gaza would die within 48 hours.
The Media Painted Israel’s Eurovision Entry as 'Divisive'. Viewers Made Her a Star.

1 month ago | honestreporting.com | Rachel O'Donoghue

If you were reading the media’s Eurovision coverage ahead of Saturday night’s live final, you could be forgiven for thinking Europe was on the brink of revolt — not over the music, but because Israel was allowed to compete. For days, major outlets drip-fed a steady stream of articles focused less on the music and more on the “divisiveness” of Israel’s entry, Yuval Raphael.
