Twenty-five years ago, HonestReporting started as a small email list, and became a global movement for media accountability.
From challenging CNN to empowering readers around the world, we’ve spent 25 years defending truth and exposing bias.

Two years after Hamas’s massacre on October 7, the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust, much of the UK media still can’t face the truth.
Instead of honoring the victims, outlets like the BBC and The Guardian used the day to criticize Israel, erasing the terror that started the war.

As Israel and Hamas enter a new ceasefire, another battle is already unfolding — in the headlines.
Watch how the story is told, and what’s left unsaid.
Because bias doesn’t pause for peace.

After two years in Hamas captivity, hostages were finally allowed to speak to their families — with armed terrorists beside them.
It was control disguised as compassion.
And the media barely asked why.

🚨 SUCCESS: CNN’s Christiane Amanpour apologized on air after HonestReporting exposed her offensive comments about Israeli hostages.
This marks her third public apology following our investigations.
Read how we held her accountable

When 20 Israeli hostages were freed, several outlets portrayed the terrorists released in exchange as victims.
The NYT, BBC, and France24 focused on the terrorists’ families and their “grief,” while ignoring the Israelis they murdered.

Even on a day of relief, bias didn’t stop.
The @BBC and @nytimes called it a “hostage exchange”, equating innocent hostages with convicted terrorists released by Israel.
There’s no moral equivalence.

Hamas propagandist Saleh al-Jafarawi, known as “Mr. FAFO,” was killed in Gaza by other Palestinians during clan clashes.
He cheered the October 7 massacre, spread fake videos, and stole millions meant for children.
Apparently, that’s not headline material.

ABC News interviewed an active Hamas operative — without saying so. Mahmoud Bassal, presented as “Gaza’s civil spokesperson,” is part of Hamas’s military wing.
When the media hides these affiliations, it’s not journalism — it’s propaganda.

NPR’s Code Switch claimed to explore what Israel means to American Jews — but only featured fringe anti-Israel voices.
By ignoring mainstream perspectives and failing to disclose activist ties, NPR broke its own journalistic standards.

The New York Times is portraying campus agitators who harassed Jewish students as “victims” of a “climate of fear.”
It’s not accountability they’re facing, it’s consequences for their actions.

After two years of downplaying Hamas’ actions, the BBC is finally acknowledging reality — but only *after* the ceasefire.

A new report reveals how Hamas operatives worked as Al Jazeera “journalists” — and how the CPJ treated them as legitimate reporters. When terrorism hides behind press badges, truth is the first victim.

Zohran Mamdani built his career attacking Israel and defending extremist movements.
But instead of examining his record, The New York Times framed him as the target of “Islamophobia.”
When media protect politicians, accountability disappears.

That “$7,000 per post” claim? It’s fiction.
The documents show a campaign budget — not influencer paychecks.

Ten viral predictions about Israel’s war, all wrong.
The “experts” lost credibility.

Hamas faked a hostage “discovery” and killed an Israeli soldier — clear ceasefire violations.
Most media ignored both and blamed Israel’s response instead.

The New Yorker used Nazi-era famine studies to describe Gaza — but ignored the Israeli hostages who actually suffered starvation in Hamas captivity. That’s not analysis. It’s Holocaust inversion.

People Magazine equated Israeli hostages with Palestinian prisoners, erasing Hamas’ crimes and misleading millions of readers. That’s not storytelling. It’s distortion.

The Red Cross, WHO, and Doctors Without Borders claim neutrality — but in Gaza, they echoed Hamas propaganda and ignored its crimes. That’s not humanitarian work. It’s complicity.

Over 300 activists are boycotting The New York Times — demanding it retract its report on Hamas’s sexual violence and adopt anti-Israel stances. When “feminists” defend rapists and extremists dictate journalism, that’s hypocrisy, not justice.
