How the media have gotten Israel stories wrong

Published May 29, 2025 8:00am ET



Liberal media institutions have proven that they are incapable of shedding their bias on any number of hot-button issues, but their coverage of Israel and Gaza has been particularly egregious, with some of the most blatantly false stories being published in attempts to hurt Israel’s standing in the world.

The most recent example came when many outlets willfully accepted the framing of a story from the United Nations. The U.N. has proven itself to be an antisemitic sinkhole that peddles terrorist propaganda at every turn. Here is how NBC News framed the story: “Around 14,000 babies could die in the next 48 hours if many more aid trucks do not reach Gaza, the U.N.’s humanitarian chief says.” The image for the story was of a starving child, and this report included quotes from an Israeli “left-wing opposition voice” who peddled the same ludicrous Hamas talking points about Israel being a country that kills babies “as a pastime.”
