AP Mocks Congressional Support for Israel
In a shocking instance of journalistic malpractice, the Associated Press, which describes itself as committed “to the highest standards of objective, accurate journalism,” criticized congressional support for Israel in its ongoing conflict with Hamas, tweeting “As much of world watches Gaza war in horror, members of Congress fall over each other to support Israel.”
In response, as the Washington Times reports, the AP “received a wave of backlash on Twitter,” forcing it to send out a revised tweet: “Many U.S. lawmakers strongly back Israel in Gaza war (revises wording in this @AP tweet).” As the Washington Times report points out, the original Associated Press tweet has not been deleted from the AP’s twitter feed.
