New in PJ Media: He’s “embarrassingly handsome.” He’s “lithe, ardent, energetic.” He is “at ease with his own eminence.” This sounds like the writing of a sixteen-year-old girl in the full-tilt grip of a crush for the ages, you know, the true and eternal love that no one else in the world has ever experienced and that […]
Turkish Media’s Overwhelming Support for Hamas
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan hates Israel. He has in the past suggested the formation of a pan-Islamic army to launch an attack on the Jewish state, leaving no doubt as to whom he thought best qualified to lead such an army. As a Sharia-adherent Muslim, he has used his office to undo the secularism […]

New York Times Doesn’t Bother Telling You This Key Detail About Its Favorite Gaza Doctor
New in PJ Media: A good deal of what the world thinks it knows about the supposed “genocide” in Gaza is due to the efforts of Hussam Abu Safyia. In October 2023 and December 2024, Safyia penned two guest essays in the New York Times, giving agog Times readers the lurid, gritty details of what […]
How the Obsessive Coverage of Israel Helps Distort Reality
Between 50,000 and 70,000 articles were published worldwide on the war in Gaza in the first nine months of that war. Compare that to the 1,000 articles published about the first nine months of the American campaign in Mosul to defeat the Islamic State (ISIS). Look also at how the New York Times published 6,656 […]
The BBC Covers International Holocaust Remembrance Day
It turns out that the BBC, in covering the observances of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, failed to mention that the Nazis had killed Jews. But what did you expect? Of course, the BBC presenters wouldn’t want to specify exactly who was killed in the Holocaust. That might create greater sympathy for Jews, or worse […]
The Media’s Obsessive Coverage Ascribes to Israel a Negative Significance It Does Not Possess
An examination of the world media’s obsessive coverage of Israel can be found here: “Why global media obsess over Israel and ignore deadlier wars – opinion,” by Samuel J. Hyde, Jerusalem Post, January 13, 2026: If news coverage were meant to be a rational analysis, this is not. Even if news were merely supposed to […]
New York Times makes the news in Nigeria for downplaying jihad massacre of Christians
Christians are suffering at the hands of jihadists in Nigeria, but what does the New York Times care? The New York Times heavily supported Black Lives Matter, boasting that “it may be the largest movement in US history.” Does the Times really care about black lives, or only about certain black lives, particularly when blacks […]
Media Believes Iran’s Death Toll Claims Just As It Believed Hamas’
Consistently enemies of the people. Media headlines are echoing claims by Iran’s regime that only 3,117 people were killed in the Islamic tyranny’s massacres of protesters. Protesters claim a death toll that is far higher and considering that the propaganda of totalitarian regimes tends to be fake, they’re probably closer to the truth. Some have […]
How NPR Covers the War in Gaza
NPR spends far more time in its “State of the World Podcast” covering the war in Gaza than it does any other conflict in the world, including the Russia-Ukraine war, the Sudanese war, and the ongoing conflicts in Yemen, Syria, Myanmar, and Libya. And when its two journalists, Daniel Estrin and Aya Batrawy, interview Hamas […]
