Bias

88%

Examples:

Conflicts of Interest

55%

Examples:

  • The author quotes Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan as saying he will work with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to find diplomatic solutions for the conflict in Gaza and other ways of promoting lasting regional peace but fails to mention that Turkey has been critical of Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in recent weeks.

Contradictions

90%

Examples:

  • The article quotes US Secretary of State Antony Blinken as saying he needs to prevent the conflict from spreading, secure the release of hostages, expand humanitarian assistance and reduce civilian casualties but fails to mention that these are not realistic goals given Israel’s actions against Hamas in Gaza.
  • The article states that Israeli forces said 40 rockets were fired when there is evidence that Hezbollah launched 62 rockets into northern Israel from Lebanon.
  • The article states that the conflict between Israel and Hamas has expanded into a broader regional crisis but fails to provide any evidence of this happening.
