A new blog is keeping an eye on the biased stories about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that continue to pour out of one of the world’s main sources of news: Reuters Middle East Watch.
Inayat Bunglawala of the Muslim Council of Britain, who worked at the same Reuters News Canary Wharf office from which we received a death threat in 2006, has been arrested in connection with a stabbing at his home. A Muslim who advised the Government following the July 7 London ...

To the al-Reuters news organization, the fact that Hamas kidnapped an Israeli soldier is insignificant; instead, it’s Israel who’s endangering the “truce” by insisting that Hamas free their kidnap victim: Israeli brinkmanship puts Gaza truce in peril. Absolutely open bias in favor of a terrorist group. Just another day for ...

Drudge has posted the full text of Obama’s inaugural speech. Reuters has already focused on the part that’s important to them: Obama promises new start with Muslims. WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama promised a new start with the Muslim world in his inauguration address on Tuesday. “To the ...
In the midst of a liveblogging session on the conflict in Gaza, the Muqata raised the alarm about a possible fauxtograph: The Muqata: Day 12 of the War, Wednesday, January 7, 2009. The picture he noticed was filed by AP photographer Adel Hana in Gaza: An explosion is ...

We should not forget that every television image and every news photograph coming out of Gaza right now is filtered through Hamas. The photographers filing pictures for Reuters, Associated Press, and Agence France Presse are all Palestinians, and all propagandists for Hamas—or they wouldn’t be allowed to take pictures in ...

It might be the first peer-reviewed study that begins with the words, “OK, now things are getting weird.” Reviewing Fauxtography: A blog-driven challenge to mass media power without the promises of networked publicity. Abstract During the Israel–Hezbollah War of 2006, bloggers caught Reuters publishing doctored images from Lebanon. Known ...

The mainstream media are absolutely relentless with this overblown nonsense: Ugly election incidents show lingering US racism. Now there’s an unbiased headline. KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Reuters) - Two weeks before an election that could install the first black U.S. president, scattered ugly incidents have reflected a deep residue of ...

There’s something very rotten at Reuters, and this headline is a glaring symptom: Accused of anti-Semitism, Ahmadinejad meets Jews. Reuters’ headline is clearly designed to imply that Ahmadinejad reached out to Jews after being accused of antisemitism, but the reality is the exact opposite. The “Jews” they’re talking about belong ...

Reuters headlines their article on the Sarah Palin blog-o-smears story: Palin hubbub shows bloggers’ influence on race. My take is a little different. I think it shows the influence of a bunch of borderline sociopaths on a mainstream media that often consists of the same sort of people.

Notice to the military forces of the world: Reuters says you had better make absolutely sure there are no journalists in the war zone before firing your weapons. And if you have any doubt, hold your fire. Failure to comply will result in press releases and deeply disturbed CEOs. You ...
Not even Reuters can swallow this one: Israel-Hamas truce begins but duration in doubt. I give this three days at the outside. But it will probably be a matter of hours.
Reuters is getting tired of the bickering and squabbling over small issues: Obama, McCain bicker over troop levels in Iraq. GREAT FALLS, Montana (Reuters) - Democrat Barack Obama squabbled with Republican John McCain on Friday over the number of U.S. troops in Iraq in the latest disagreement between the ...

A great piece by Stephen D. Cooper: A Concise History of the Fauxtography Blogstorm in the 2006 Lebanon War - American Communication Journal.
This would be good for a round of seething, except that senior military commanders have already sprung into action and apologized. Leaving aside the inherent absurdity of apologizing for harming a book, Reuters is doing their best to make sure the issue persists, with one of their characteristically even-handed, unbiased ...

I’m sitting with my mouth dropped open, reading what has to be the single most biased mainstream media article I have ever encountered. Reuters has completely dropped the mask, and their Arab propagandists are doing everything in their power to demonize Israel and promote the big lie of “Nakba.” Just ...
Reuters can’t even stop churning out anti-Israel propaganda on Israel’s 60th birthday, with a stunningly dishonest account of the Arab war on Israel: Turning 60, Israelis feel pride, Palestinians pain. For Shamali, it is time to mourn the Nakba, or “catastrophe,” when 700,000 Palestinians, his own family among them, ...
The Reuters visitor count is going up again today, as employees in their UK Canary Wharf facility have used Google and Technorati to get to these LGF posts: Reuters Cameraman Killed in Gaza, Visits from Reuters Spike A Death Threat from Reuters (Bumped)
Fadel Shana, a cameraman for the Reuters wire service, was killed yesterday in Gaza, under somewhat suspicious circumstances. And oddly enough, there were 10 hits yesterday from the UK Canary Wharf office of Reuters; all of those hits went to this LGF page from 2006, when a car Shana was ...
Graffiti found in an El Al plane in Italy has led the airline to demand an investigation; Reuters reports that it was “pro-Palestinian graffiti.” MILAN, March 11 (Reuters) - Pro-Palestinian graffiti written in Arabic has been found scrawled inside the cargo hold of an El Al plane during unloading ...

So, according to the AP’s guidelines, it would fall under the heading of fair use when I point out the following Reuters photograph, and mention that it’s yet another example of the mainstream wire services’ utter corruption and moral blindness, labeling Hamas terrorists in suicide bomber outfits as “activists.” They’ve ...
Just when you think the mainstream wire services can’t possibly debase themselves any further, they release a photograph like this one, taken by Reuters Palestinian propagandist Ibraheem Abu Mustafa, with an unbelievably sick and distorted caption: Palestinian Hamas activists take part in an anti-Israel rally organized by the ...

I thought I’d seen the worst, most blatant propaganda possible from the pro-Palestinian wire service Reuters, but this article takes their bias to a completely new level: Inspired by God, Hamas fighters battle on. GAZA, March 3 (Reuters) - Abu Mohammed picked up his rifle, said farewell to his ...
It’s not just the Associated Press labeling Pakistanis burning Danish flags as “human rights activists.” Here are two more especially absurd and egregious examples of MSM malfeasance: At Contentions, Abe Greenwald tracks the mysterious disappearance and subsequent complete rewrite of a Reuters story on Muqtada al-Sadr: Reuters’ Sadr Story Vanishes. ...
