Anti-Israel media bias has accelerated dramatically since the Hamas atrocities of October 7, 2023. In this Forum Roundtable, host Lauri Regan speaks with three leading analysts—Alex Traiman, CEO and Jerusalem Bureau Chief of the Jewish News Syndicate; Liel Leibovitz, editor at large of Tablet Magazine and senior fellow at the Hudson Institute; and Gil Hoffman, executive director of HonestReporting.com—about how this narrative war is being waged and why it matters.
The panel examines the mechanics of bias: Hamas-controlled reporting from Gaza, the influence of Al Jazeera, the collapse of standards inside major Western newsrooms, and the rise of algorithms that amplify anti-Israel content. They also explore how independent media and watchdog groups are challenging falsehoods and what viewers can do to become more effective consumers of news.
If you want a clear, fact-driven understanding of how Israel is portrayed—and misrepresented—across the global media landscape, this discussion offers essential insight.
