Britain's papers have made the Board of Deputies the voice of British Jews on Palestine. They print its attacks on Palestine solidarity as the Jewish community's verdict, never tell readers its constitution commits it to "advance Israel's security, welfare and standing", and shut Palestinians out of stories about their own land.

Kévin T. admitted he chose his victims by how Muslim or African they looked, in a town he called "a haven for Islamists". We read 90 English-language articles from 41 outlets. They folded the killing into the protests, called it random, and 32 of the 41 never reported his confession.

In 115 of 199 English-language election reports we checked, Palestinian citizens of Israel were only ever "Arabs". Every leading candidate ran on denying Palestinians a state, a say in government or a home in Gaza. Here is what they posted, in their own words.

We examined 920 headlines about El-Sayed from 141 outlets and 740 stored articles. Fox and the Post carried the smear from August onwards and almost never told their readers it had nothing behind it. The charts compare headline subjects, who made the allegations and whether the articles assessed the evidence.

UN investigators found genocidal acts in Gaza since the 'ceasefire', and extermination, torture, rape and persecution in the West Bank. We counted every word of 15 reports. Israel's denial got 1,178 words. A Palestinian got 46, and he was defending the Palestinian Authority.

In our English-language sample, 35.1% of Brazil result headlines included the loser’s challenge, against 26.7% for Ecuador. Sky put Bolsonaro’s rejection in its headline and González’s below it. CBS buried the fact that both Brazilian campaigns had asked for extra voting time.

The protests began on 21 September at one school near Paris, over teaching posts nobody had filled. We read 734 English-language reports from 164 outlets. On the day 550,000 people marched, 73% led on the violence, 42% never said the marches were peaceful, and only two gave any number for injured protesters.

On 21 August 2026 Cambridge said its Black students and staff were still being sent racist, hateful and abusive messages. Six days later senior Black academics told Black staff they could come to them for support and advice. The Telegraph reported the offer under an accusation of breaking equality law. The word abuse appears nowhere in its article, which leaves out the law that allows the support, gives the accusation to anonymous academics and contradicts its own headline in its last paragraph.
On the 25th anniversary of 11 September the Washington Times reported that Trump had vowed victory over 'Islamic terror'. He had not said it; the paper did. The Quran forbids the killing of the innocent and makes the spreading of terror a capital crime, and the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, al-Azhar, the Amman Message's 200 scholars and the 126 signatories of the letter to al-Baghdadi have all said so. Nobody wrote 'Christian terror' over Oslo, Colorado Springs or Finsbury Park, and nobody should have. We counted the phrase in Google Books and in five years of English-language news, set six killers who invoked their own religion beside the words the press used for them, and put the security figures that cut the other way on the page.

Two stabbings, radically asymmetric coverage. Measured in a like-for-like first-72-hour window, the national press covered the Golders Green stabbing of two Jewish men several times more than the Edinburgh attacks that wounded five, several of them Muslim, and reached for 'terror' far more often (Edinburgh was reported as 'suspected', 'faith-based hate', or a 'knifeman'). And the newsroom gap mirrors a government gap: an emergency COBRA meeting, threat-level rise, PM visit and £25m for one, none of it for the other.
Israel bombed the al-Kayali residential building in Gaza City on the eve of Eid al-Adha and killed a Hamas commander, his wife, his child, and at least one other woman. BBC, LA Times, Independent, Times and NBC News each named only the commander in their headlines. A six-section headline-versus-body audit anchored to each outlet's own accuracy standard.
The body reports detainees kneeling with foreheads forced to the floor, a serving minister classifying them on camera as 'terrorism supporters' and asking the PM for the 'terrorist prisons', a detainee pushed to the ground for shouting 'Free Palestine'. The BBC's word in the headline was 'taunting'. The dictionary reserves that word for schoolyards. A code-anchored Section 3 (Accuracy) reading.
Five mastheads, one wire-desk frame, article bodies that contradict their own headlines. AP, Reuters, The Independent, Toronto Star and The Irish Times on the 18 May 2026 Lebanese death toll. Agent deletion, false symmetry, and the hundreds of women and children buried below the fold. A code-based accuracy critique.
Two incidents at the 16 May 2026 'Unite the Kingdom' rally, and the press's flattening of the day into 'rival protests'. The legal framework stated accurately, the framing critique graded outlet by outlet, the honest counter-arguments, and the asks.
BBC, The Independent, Reuters and the New York Times led their coverage of the 15 May 2026 Gaza City strike with Israel's stated objective, not the seven Palestinians killed. Anadolu and Al Jazeera, reading the same wires, made the more proportionate editorial judgement.
Prince Harry's New Statesman op-ed condemned antisemitism and anti-Muslim hatred as twin manifestations of the same well of division. Within 24 hours, eight major Western outlets had reduced the balanced argument to a one-sided statement on antisemitism alone.
