HonestReporting has been working around the clock to identify and respond to the worst media bias since the appalling events of October 7 and the subsequent launch of Israeli military action against Hamas.
You can already see many of the posts that we’ve published on our website, but here’s a roundup of just some of the issues and media outlets that we’ve flagged on social media over the past several days that didn’t make it into full articles.
Make sure to follow us on X/Twitter to get all of our content in real-time during this period.
TAKE ACTION NOW: You can make a difference. We’ve included contact details for many of the examples of media bias below. Please send your considered comments to the media and hold them accountable.

UPI Mindlessly Repeats Claim that Jesus Was Palestinian
That Mennonite Action Chicago claims Jesus was a Palestinian speaks volumes about the kind of organization it is.
That @UPI‘s Adam Schrader copy-pasted this nonsense from the organization’s social media also speaks volumes about the kind of “journalist” he is. pic.twitter.com/YjCKbGk6Rp

Husam Zomlot is Given The Title of Ambassador by Sky News… Except He Wasn’t
Husam Zomlot is the Head of the Palestinian Mission to the UK and was previously the Head of the PLO Mission to the U.S.
Neither position grants the status of ambassador despite what @SkyNews may say.
Stop upgrading his (un)diplomatic credentials and get it right. pic.twitter.com/h9vYfNC6LF

UPI Has No Problem Promoting Hamas-Front Organization
Another day, another copy-paste for @UPI “journalist” Adam Schrader whose only sources tend to be press releases from terrorist orgs or extremists.
What he won’t tell you is that @EuroMedHR is a Hamas front organization with a history of peddling disinformation and propaganda. pic.twitter.com/uzN00VOcy1

BBC News Takes Hamas’ Claims as Fact, Ignores Evidence Provided by IDF
.@BBCWorld says it “has not been able to verify the claims made by both sides.”
So why is it elevating the Palestinian claim to treat it as a fact?

The Terrorist-Affiliation of 5 “Journalists” Goes Unacknowledged by Newsweek
The “5 Journalists” worked for Islamic Jihad-affiliated Al Quds Today TV.
In other words, they were employees of a terrorist org.
And Israel struck a van where these 5 were inside, not a Gaza hospital.@Newsweek, this is a #headlinefail 👇 pic.twitter.com/pTtA6gtudP

The Independent: Haniyeh’s Two-State Contradiction?
Please, @Independent, help us understand: How did Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh not oppose a two-state solution at the same time as rejecting recognition of one of those states?
Make it make sense 🤔 pic.twitter.com/vplavd13Wf

Hamas Goes Unmentioned in The Guardian’s Weekly “Genocide” Narrative
It’s Monday, which can only mean it’s time for @guardian‘s weekly dose of “Israel is committing genocide” content.
And we’ve counted the number of times Hamas is mentioned so you don’t have to. It’s zero.
Could this be any more one-sided? pic.twitter.com/sYtF7QQO4G

Israel-Assad Conspiracy Theory Given a Platform by The Guardian
