Reuters kills fair journalism
Honest Reporting (www.honestreporting.com) has done an extensive analysis of how Reuters handles titles for stories that related to the Israeli war against Palestinian terrorism, and the bias is amazing:
Headlines are powerful elements of any news story, for a headline is the first (and oftentimes the only) item seen by the reader. Recognizing this, HonestReporting monitored headlines of Reuters news agency reports on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict during the one-month period June 10 - July 10, 2003. [...]
1) Named subject
- In violent acts against Israelis, the Palestinian agent is named in 33% of the headlines.
- In violent acts against Palestinians, the Israeli agent is named in 100% of the headlines. Moreover, Israel is always emphasized by appearing as the first word in the headline.
2) Named object
- In violent acts against Israelis, casualties are labeled "Israeli" in 11% of the headlines.
- In violent acts against Palestinians, casualties are labeled "Palestinian" or "Hamas" in 50% of the headlines. Considering "militant" as a Palestinian-specific term raises this figure to 71% of headlines.
3) Verb selection
- Violent acts by Palestinians are described with "active voice" verbs in 33% of the headlines.
- Violent acts by Israelis are described with "active voice" verbs in 100% of the headlines.
Example 1:
"Israeli Troops Shoot Dead Palestinian in W.Bank" (July 3)
Israel named as perpetrator; Palestinian named as victim; described in active voice.
vs.
"New West Bank Shooting Mars Truce" (July 1)
Palestinian not named as perpetrator; Israeli not named as victim; shooting described in passive voice.
Example 2:
"Israel Kills Three Militants; Gaza Deal Seen Close" (June 27)
Israel named as perpetrator; Palestinians ("Militants") named as victims; described in active voice.
vs.
"Bus Blows Up in Central Jerusalem" (June 11)
Palestinian not named as perpetrator; Israelis not named as victims; described in passive voice.
Many of the so-called reportes of AP, Reuters and AFP that report Israel's struggle to survive are either Arab Muslims or Palestinians - their bias is evident.
