THE BIASED REPORTING THREAD 

Since there is just so much of it, I have decided to start a single thread for reports of biased and just plain bad reporting.

First up is the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting)

Oops! Canada TV Fails to Notice 400 Rocket Attacks
CBC News issues vague correction after it tells viewers there were no rocket attacks from Gaza in the past year.

Canada's CBC television issued an on-air apology Wednesday, a day after it misled its viewers by telling them that the recent Gazan rocket attacks on Israel were the first such attacks in a year's time.

In fact, 405 rockets have been fired at Israel from Gaza in the last 12 months (according to the Elder of Zion website), and 130 have been fired over the past month – most of them this week.

Now, you can complain that they are selective in what they interpret and print, but that is not one-sided?

No? Why not?

If I portray a certain group only negatively, I create dangerous stereotypes.

How would that NOT be one-sided?

If they simply interpret was is being said and that portrays a certain group in a negative manner, well, it would seem that if the shoe fits...  You can't control what people say, you can only report what they are saying.

Memri website has been discussed. Memri is as good in commentary and honesty as Jewwatch.com in documenting positive contribution of Jewish population.

It seems many members still wish to support it. I say it is a free world, some people like distorted views.

Canadian media is not known to be anti-Jewish. But many folks see Haaretz and BBC as anti-Jewish.

I'll like to add that, current Israeli policy of human right abuse and land theft is genuinely working against Jewish people everywhere. If you want to fix something first, it should be the first priority.
