In the name of “balance” — a mysterious thing reporters chase, but never seem to find — they have reported as though the democratic State of Israel and the jihadist terror group Hamas are equivalent.
Tonight I watched the Australian Broadcasting Commission’s 7 pm news. It covered the release of 90 young Palestinian men by Israel. (0bviously trying for balance - they usually interview only Palestinian women). We were invited to sympathize with the complaints of one man about his treatment in an Israeli prison. “No washing machines or dryers! No washing powder! No clean clothes! And once a guard hit me with a belt”! Nothing whatsoever on the young women who had just been released, mocked by cheering Palestinians, after being kidnapped and -well, who knows. We were being invited to sympathize with terrorists because they had no clean clothes. Really, how much more gobsmacked can we be?
When the use of the word “terrorist” was banned by the Obama administration, and that terrorist shot up his co-workers, Obama insisted it be called “workplace violence” For years, the word, “militants” have been used to replace “terrorists”, another lie used nonstop.
Listen to the released hostages. There are no "innocent Gaza civilians". They are all part of the same terrorist army, either on active duty or in the reserves.
How many "journalists" have referred to the Gaza Health Ministry without prefacing it with "Hamas Controlled", and ending with, "which continuously exaggerates casualty numbers by excluding terrorists who have been killed"?
Reports describe Gaza as a "besieged enclave" rather than a "terrorist factory".
They mention UNRWA and the Red Cross, like they were benevolent, humanitarian organizations, rather than the complicit co-conspirators they have been unmasked to be.
How many times have you heard the phrase "refugee camp" used to describe an apartment complex?
At this point, I hope that the Trump administration's FCC doesn't renew the broadcast licenses for the Big-3 networks, because their news departments no longer serve the common good.
Palestinianism is so entrenched in all areas of journalism, academia, history analysis, discourse that terrorist is too judgemental ...they are "militants." Israelis however are white Jewish supremacists ultranationalists who commit genocide, ecocide, ....cide....everything is "cide" untless it pertains to Jews. Just like diaspora, ghetto, and Holocaust apply to everything anyone but the Jews. Jihad is personal struggle. Islam is peace. This is today's woke theology.
Exactly. President’s press corps is now handing out passes to truther podcasters, and online sources such as the writers here…in case you or your colleagues are stateside. Just yesterday the press secretary, when asked about ‘the hostages’ stated: ‘I’m glad someone has finally asked…’ !! It would be perfect to have an Israeli interest/reporter on the ground in DC.
Excellen piece, Nachum. I'm one of those readers and listeners of news who "looks out the window." But let's give credit where credit is due. These shills that call themselves journalists have to bend the truth to fit their narrative and they do an outstanding job of that. If lying could get an award, oh wait, someone from the NYT did get a journalism award. Palestinian photojournalist Samar Abu Elouf given International Press Freedom Award for work capturing war in Gaza. There have been more. They prop each other up and continue the lies. We just have to speak facts to truth and continue to wear down the indoctrinated and those who are oblivious to the truth. It will be interesting to hear and read the reporting that goes on next week with Netanyahu's visit to the White House. My imagination knows no bounds.
We have to realise what is the period we are living NOW. This is the “ End of Days “ in the Torah and Kabbalah. This is the final battle of evil and good before HASHEM destroy all the evil and also Satan himself away forever to eternity 🙌🙏🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱The Third Temple and the Kingdom of Yisrael ( Davidic Dynasty) are eternal and Sanhedrin is also in the Third Temple. Final peace comes when Shechinah is dwelling in the Third Temple on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem Very Soon Baruch HASHEM 🙌🙏🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱This is very hard way HASHEM is uniting Jews for the future 🙌🙏HASHEM has the control of everything everywhere all the time 🙌🙏🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱We pray and TRUST ONLY HASHEM ALMIGHTY 🙌🙏🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱It is really a new world coming with total peace all over the world eternally and happiness 🙌🙏🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱
Love your article.....Thanks to the lies and distortion of history by the journalists, we again have a global Antisemitism!!!!.......the insanity manifested in all who sided with the terrorists, murderers, rapists, kidnappers......
"False equivalence has infected coverage since the war began on October 7, 2023, when news outlets had paroxysms over whether they should call terrorists “terrorists” in case telling the truth prejudiced coverage and hurt the terrorists’ feelings."
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Demonizing Israel began many years before '23.
False equivalence isn't even the worst of it. At the least — and this is a very low bar — it claims Jews and genocidal Arabs, their supporters and sympathizers are on the same footing. What is actually taking place now is willfully painting Jews as the psychopathic perps.
"This often gets written up as “fighting broke out” — as though wars are like inexplicable acts of spontaneous combustion. "
The Media routinely refer to Oct. 7 as an attack rather than what factually what it was, a massacre, a slaughter of Jews. That would be like reporting the COVID pandemic as another round if the cold season.
"This often gets written up as “fighting broke out” — as though wars are like inexplicable acts of spontaneous combustion. "
No. Check out History. It is because reporters, editors, and producers see Hamas as the noble victim and Israel as the infernal troublemaker threatening culture, religion, and civilization.
"Hamas has an incentive to lie"
That incentive is called taquiyyah and it is given religious sanction by no less an authority than
the Koran and the Hadiths. Compare that to one of Judaism's fundamental edicts: "Thou shalt not bear false witness."
Facts are not facts if they don’t fit your narrative. Making editorial comments in a report never need to be alerted. The only reliable print in most legacy media occurs on the crossword and puzzle page. Public supported broadcasters in the west are a woke joke.

In 1984 by George Orwell (Eric Arthur Blair), jobs at the Ministry of Truth include:
-rewriting history
-generating propaganda
-working with media and entertainment.
The Ministry's primary goal is to keep the public obedient and Big Brother in power.
