The Washington Post Redacted Facts About Israel’s Destruction of COVID-19 Clinics

Israel shoots 100 people, Washington Post calls the area ‘quiet’

Media ignore, disparage, or misrepresent Palestinian Right of Return
A FAIR study finds that major US news outlets rarely mention the Right of Return, although it is a primary part of the Israel/Palestine issue. In the last ten years, only 0.01 percent of coverage of Palestinians or Palestine in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post informs its audience about the right of return or even mentions it at all. When they do mention it, they generally imply that it is not a legitimate, UN-conferred right; or they describe the exercise of that right as an act of aggression/national “suicide” for Israel.
