And did you see the NYTimes caption last week: http://myrightword.blogspot.com/2008/03/fautography-by-new-york-times.html

This seems to be BlogBurst content. Part of their requirements are:

Ethical and fair writing that doesn't put the publisher in a compromising position

It wouldn't hurt to complain to BlogBurst as well.

Is it not true that Arabs are today the largest shareholders in Reuters and hence control it and constantly take an anti-Israel stance in their reporting ?

If this information is in fact correct, it should be publicised for all the world to know where they are coming from.

We ask Reuters to exercise responsibility in its choice of blogs.
You should promote Peace and Not War.

Reuters with this clearly anti Israeli stance will lose my company's support after a 20 year relationship. Quite sad and foolish

If the Palestinians, including Hamas
want ro have a free State, they should seat and talk to ISRAEL and other countries involved, to find an
agreement, and not sending rockets
to kill innocent people.

Such blatant anti-Israel reporting is disgraeful, and calls into question the professional competence of Reuters...

More pointless whining about a story that originated in the Israeli press.

Some people need to have a long hard think about David Landau's (editor of Ha'aretz) comments in regard to this kind of nonsense,
"In my opinion its high time that the Anglo-Jewish community in general, and the Anglo-Jewish intelligentsia, should stop devoting an inordinate amount of its pro-Israel energies to minute parsing of what the BBC or The Guardian wrote about Sderot today or yesterday or last year………rather than helping us, Israelis, solving our existential dilemmas."

I am totally ashamed of Reuters and their actions in this matter.How quickly we forget the horror the Jews experienced during WWII.  Let us not allow this to occur once more.Thank you for reading this - lets all do our share to promote Peace.Del

Reuters, BBC, LA why all that hatred towards Israel based on false reports and therefore wrong evaluations...?

Posted by: gisèle rozès at Mar 24, 2008 7:20:03 PM

Reuters repeatedly display poor judgement and bias in their reporting on the Israel/Palestinian conflict.International news agencies like Reuters,influence the media, their reporting should be above reproach.We must react to counter their bias.

Reuters should promote peace not war, respect for human life, not death. Those who celebrated the deaths of those Israeli children may live to mourn the deaths of their own, and as usual wonder why such a terrible thing has happened to them. Some never seem to learn that the evil they put out into the world, comes back to them. There was nothing wonderful about Haman, Hitler, Hussein nor Hamas and there is nothing good about the evil inumanity of any goose-stepping terrorists, then or now.

i feel if you have people that don't

like you. Invite them to Israel to

see how great the country is and let

them decide.

"Israeli Troop(IDF has been dedicated to saving civilians whenever possible) Given the Go-Ahead to Kill(IDF protects them from the Palestinian rocket launchers who keep civilians at their launch site to kill them and then blame the IDF) Peaceful Palestinian Protesters. Your blog lies in order to spread your bias. But the reader recognizes your hatred for what it is.

Maybe Reuters removed the blog from their site. When I click on the link through Honest Reporting, it leads to a blank page.

utter spitefulness......please check if actions are true or false....there shuold be a fine imposed for false reporting

Reuters' anti-Israel attitude is symptomatic of frightening international anti-semitism, using Israel's alleged lack of human rights to hide actual anti-semitism.

Posted by: Max Shapiro at Mar 25, 2008 2:01:51 AM

I tried to send a complaint to Reuters and the online form they have asked for the URL of the blog so I looked for it on their site. I could not locate it -cd they have removed it? I am sure it existed when you ran the story but it does not appear to be there now.

Good going Honest Reporting! Once again exposing their behavior has caused them to remove it from their site. I for one am appreciative of these small victories!

the CBC is another anti jewish news
media paid in part by my tax dollars and this I resent deeply.They called Arafat the palestian spiritual leader instead of the crook and terrorist that he was!

How disgraceful but nothing surprises when it comes to the medias reporting of the tru situation in Israel. It brings to mind what MENACHEM BEGIN Z"L once wrote quote "THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN GUARANTEE AN INTERNATIONAL GUARANTEE". I believe that is as true today as it was when he originally said it. WE HAVE TO LOOK AFTER OURSELVES TODAY, TOMORROW AND FOREVER. 'AM YISRAEL CHAI'

Two points:

First for Michael on
"pointless whining", who quotes the Ha'aretz guy to the effect that Anglo-Jewish supporters of Israel should stop "parsing the minutiae" of BBC, Reuters et al, and pay attention to Israel's "existential problems." Don't either of these guys understand that international perception of Israel is a huge piece of its existential problems???? It's bad enough that the Arabs have been so successful in the p.r. war they've been waging since they realized, in '67, that military onslaughts were not going to dislodge the Israelis. Remember their new strategy of negotiations but never peace, and keeping the "lo the poor Palestinian refugees" as a permanent talking point so that the Israelis would look like Goliath to the Palestinians David, appealing to every single liberal ditzy enough to be fooled into perceiving the Arabs as the underdog? Even though Arab lands and wealth are vast and Israel is small-to-vanishing in size and population numbers in comparison? Ha'aretz should perhaps bestir itself to actively correct the errors the Arabs are peddling to such great effect all over the world, and try beating them at their own game by persistently overwhelming offensive media outlets with the real story, the facts, the history, until some of it starts getting through. I'm a progressive, and always upset because most of my fellow progressives in the U.S. feel sorry for the Palestinians, are swept away by the exoticism just as Vanessa Redgrave was when she did that ridiculous barefoot dance in a Palestinian refugee camp. Crap like that MOVES people. And at the very least, if Ha'aretz and Michael aren't going to help build an accurate picture of Israel in the world's mind, they should at least get out of the way and let people who care about Israel try to get some decent press, some spot-on coverage for a change.

Point two is really a question: candidate Barack Obama forcefully condemned the Hamas blog reprinted in his church's newsletter -- but I'm not sure he's speaking his mind or just trying to sucker in every vote he can, just like any other pol. His language on Israel sounds great, but too many of his advisors are hostile to Israel, such as Gen. McPeak, Jimmy Carter, Mearshmer & Walt etc. He also has advisors who are knowledgeable --like Dennis Ross, who advises both Clinton and Obama -- and even Israelophilic, e.g. Martin Peretz. Why would he have advisors with conflicting opinions? How can we believe anything he says, unless we are comfortable with the fact that perhaps Obama is telling every individual and every group exactly what they want to hear, just to get the nomination? I would love to get an opinion from someone who really understands Obama's process, and what he actually believes in and will do for Israel when the rubber meets the road. Anyone?

Remember Nixon was the first to go to China and G.W.Bush has only gone to Israel for the first time in an election year and done nothing overtly to help Israel. All the concern about Obama may be ridiculous and as a result of slander and libel and the concerned people may end up totally shocked how much he accomplishes on behalf of Israel if they will stop believing all of the ridiculous unproved lies. This is Karl Rove nonsense and that's why this nation is in the trouble it's in now. Does anyone have any evidence that Obama will not support Israel or is so pro Palestinean that he wants the State of Israel to be destroyed other than blogs and unproven rhetoric? If so cough it up - if not - shut up
