The News Wire Services Are a Disgrace

The Arab journalists and photographers who file the vast majority of reports from the Middle East for Western wire services are almost universally biased against Israel (and America), and regularly employ deceptive language and staged and/or faked photographs to advance their propaganda. The wire services (AP, Reuters, and Agence France Presse, to name the most popular) are an utter disgrace for allowing this to continue, even after numerous examples have been rubbed in their faces and they’ve been forced to grudgingly retract photos and fire journalists. In many cases, the Arab stringers caught in these distortions are right back at work almost immediately.

There is absolutely no accountability, and no sense of responsibility at the wire services.

VerbalCaricature has the latest appalling example: Exaggerating the News to Truth.
