In 2015, the Columbia Journalism Review (CJR) published a scathing investigation of a Rolling Stone magazine report. It detailed how the magazine fell short of “basic, even routine journalistic practice” standards in its 2014 story alleging sexual assault at the University of Virginia. As it turned out, the story was produced almost entirely on one source’s uncorroborated claims, with little to no effort made to verify even basic details of her story.

From the Committee to Protect Journalists to the news outlets sympathetically covering them (with senior journalists on their board), Hamas terrorists have been misrepresented as journalists.

Context matters in journalism. Inverting the cause and effect of the subject in a story, or omitting the cause of an effect altogether, can have serious implications in the story’s presented conclusions.

In a Sept. 1, 2026, article titled “Vance offers olive branch to pro-Israel Republicans in closed-door speech,” Politico’s Samuel Benson describes media personality Tucker Carlson as merely an “Israel-skeptical pundit.” The inadequate and misleading description whitewashes the extent and nature of Carlson’s radical, and often unhinged, positions.

Jamaal Bowman, the anti-Israel Congressman from New York's 16th Congressional District, has lost his primary fight. Leading news outlets like POLITICO echoed claims that Bowman's loss was due to the influence of the pro-Israel lobby. But as CAMERA tells Washington Examiner Magazine, the truth is otherwise, and Bowman is just one in a long line of anti-Israel politicians to blame AIPAC for his electoral loss.

In May 2026, Israeli media reported on a COGAT (Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories) survey which demonstrated that nearly 80% of Gazans were interested in emigrating out of the Gaza strip. On Sep. 2, 2026, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz raised this statistic when he spoke at the “Decision Time: Democracy and Society” conference on Sep. 2, 2026, co-hosted by Ynet. He spoke of Israel’s willingness to facilitate such emigration in any way it could.

As theJewish Chronicle(JC)revealedlast weekend – based on CAMERA’s research – a BBC Arabicsegmentabout cultural life in Gaza featured two contributors, presented as the “chairman” of a public library and an “author”, who have expressed antisemitic and pro-violence views on their social media accounts.

This Sept. 7, 2026, Op-Ed by CAMERA’s Shay Khatiri appeared inJerusalem News Syndicate. The IDF’s Sept. 4, 2025 announcement of the elimination of Hamas terrorist Muhammad Mahmoud Marshad Al-Qadi, who took part in the Oct. 7 massacre and held hostages (IDF’s X account) Casualties have been a point of contention and a tool to discredit the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza since October 2023.

The American Prospect is a magazine that describes itself as “devoted to promoting informed discussion” and “help[ing] to dispel myths.” Unfortunately, on August 25, the magazine published an article, “You Can Take This as Gospel,” by Brandeis University Professor Robert Kuttner featuring content at variance with the magazine’s avowed mission.
