In its Middle East coverage, the BBC can hardly be distinguished from Al Jazeera: “BBC pressured to suspend journalists who ‘liked’ videos celebrating Oct. 7 or wrote anti-Israel post,” by Melissa Koenig, New York Post, March 18, 2024: Al Azzi, who has worked for the BBC since 2019, described Israel as a “terrorist apartheid state” […]
BBC Keeps Journalists on Staff Who Retweeted Praise of October 7 Attacks
The BBC has for many decades been notoriously anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian in its Middle East coverage. Among the main offenders there was the execrable John Simpson, who for years was in charge of all foreign broadcasts as head of BBC World Services; there was Jeremy Bowen, who for years was the BBC’s Middle East Editor, […]
According to Reuters, Hezbollah Attacks are a Thing of the Past
Reuters’ reporters seem to have a blind spot when it comes to Hezbollah. That is, they appear not to see the barrage of rockets that the Shi’a terror group has been launching at the Jewish state almost every other day since October 7. In fact, Hezbollah’s attacks have increased in frequency and size since October. […]
Reuters’ Reporting on Journalist’s Death at Israel’s Northern Border Leaves Out the ‘Why’
A Palestinian journalist, Issam Abdallah, who was reporting for Reuters on the exchange of fire between the IDF and Hezbollah on Israel’s northern border, was shot dead in mid-October. Immediately, Reuters conducted its own hasty investigation, and accused the IDF of the killing. The IDF did not deny nor confirm it, and said it was […]

Hugh Fitzgerald covered Wyner’s findings here, but given the lies that are being disseminated everywhere, they’re worth revisiting. “Wharton Professor: Gaza Death Numbers Are Fake,” by Eric Mack, Newsmax, March 10, 2024: The media, led by The Associated Press and Reuters in Gaza, have continued to push the Hamas-run Health Ministry death totals — even […]
Biden’s Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics
Now that President Biden, in both his Ramadan greetings to American Muslims, and in his State of the Union Speech, has accepted the Hamas-generated figure of “30,000 dead civilians” in Gaza, we need to look more closely at where Hamas gets its figures. More on the prestidigitation of Hamas’ statistical magicians can be found here: […]
Remember That Islamophobic Hate Crime In Burlington, Vermont? It Wasn’t
With antisemitism rising all over the world, Muslims in America are alarmed. Not because they care about the Jews who are the objects of antisemitic acts. Indeed, many of them enjoy the spectacle of their spreading distress. What worries them, however, is that some people might start to sympathize with those Jews again, and even, horribile […]

Out of Ideas? Media Digs Up the Old ‘Biden’s Not Senile, He Just Stutters’ Lie
New in PJ Media: At this point, at least, it looks as if the Democrats are stuck with Old Joe Biden, and so they’re making the best of it. The alleged president’s obvious cognitive decline, however, is getting more noticable all the time. Apparently, however, the Biden regime apparatchiks and their establishment media propagandists have […]
The New York Times’ ‘Witnesses’ of Gaza Massacre are Anything But Credible
The New York Times, ever faithful to its anti-Israel animus, credulously accepts the account of an alleged IDF “massacre” in Gaza put out by Hamas and its supporters. In doing so, it relies on “witnesses” who are anything but credible. “The evidence to the “massacre” that the @NYTimes believes,” Elder of Ziyon, March 1, 2024: […]
