DISHONEST REPORTER AWARD "WINNERS"

Honest Reporting has come out with its 7th Annual Dishonest Reporter Awards.

Here are a couple of my "favorite" winners:

Worst Advertising Account: International Herald-Tribune

In April, the International Herald-Tribune made waves for advertising an Iranian tender to build two nuclear power plants. Ironically enough, the ad also appeared in Israel where Haaretz distributes an IHT supplement. The IHT is owned by the NY Times.

Special Achievement in Verbal Gymnastics: Jeremy Bowen

The BBC's Mideast Editor wins for this sentence:

"There is no dialogue with those murderous terrorists," Mr Abbas said, referring to Hamas militants.
