Sky News host Andrew Bolt says "you cannot trust" the mainstream media to report fairly on "this war against Israel".
"Not when you have the ABC, the national broadcaster, claiming that the Islamic terrorists who have fired more than 3000 missiles now at Israel from Gaza, were just retaliating against Israel's bombing of Gaza, when the truth is exactly the other way around," Mr Bolt said.
"Israel starting bombing Gaza to stop the rocket attacks which had already started," he said.
"It was retaliating".
Mr Bolt spoke to the Co-CEO of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry Alex Ryvchin about various aspects of the conflict and its reporting in the media.

Journalists showcasing ‘anti-Israel bias’ now looking for support in their campaigning

This story seems to be about:
Sky News host Chris Kenny says journalists who gave Australians “anti-Israel bias” in their reporting are now looking for more support in their anti-Israel campaigning.
Mr Kenny said he has shown how the ABC is “misreporting and misrepresenting events in the Middle East" as he spoke of the unfolding events in the Israel-Palestine conflict and its portrayal in the media.
He discussed a recent push among some journalists in Australia, “with the encouragement of the journalists’ union,” who are signing up to an open letter complaining about coverage of these issues.
“Not because of its anti-Israel bias but because they don't think it is sufficiently pro-Palestinian,” Mr Kenny said.
“Apparently dozens of journalists have signed this in Australia. No doubt many from the ABC,” he said.
“So, journalists who give us anti-Israel bias in their reporting are now looking to get more support for their anti-Israel campaigning, and they even demand immunity from criticism for their bias.
“They reckon they ought to be able to campaign against Israel, instead of being objective journalists, but be free from any sanction professionally over this.
“Just more proof that the journalists’ union is a big part of the problem in this era of fake news.”
