- and I suspect they never will. In over 3 years of watching HR, I can't remember one instance of them actually retracting one of their many factual errors and blatant distortions. Pretty sad record for a group that exists soley to criticize others.
Needless to say, neither HonestReporting, nor its erstwhile defender, Howard, have uttered a single syllable about HRs fabrication of the “Hari compares Israel to excrement” lie.

You'd think a group that constantly demands retractions and corrections for perceived errors, would be quite scrupulous in this regard itself.
If you thought that you'd be making the mistake of assuming that HR really did have a principled position on fairness and accuracy in reporting.
But they are just an unscrupulous advocacy group demanding media compliance with their particular point-of-view, and disingenuously using the language of media standards as its preferred weapon.
And similarly, neither DisHonestReporting, nor its erstwhile defender, Michael, have uttered a single syllable about Hari's fabrication of the debunked supposed Ben-Gurion quote 'The Arabs will have to go, but one needs an opportune moment for making it happen, such as a war.' lie.
Standby readers, more from hypocrisy central soon.
Debunked, how so?
On the one-hand we have Hari qouting the work of a published historian (no fabrication on his part NOG, that's your invention), for which he is condemned, and on the other, those doing the condemning deliberately fabricating allegations against Hari.
Pick your hypocrite!!
It's quite clear that the anti-Semitic lies that are spread by Johann Hari and alike are coming from within their hearts and not from history and reality. I can't accept the unspecified perpetual emotion of those who attack Israel, Zionists and Jews in any case, any time, any how, any where, any when, by twisting the facts and odorant the aim of the haters. http://www.honestreporting.com/a...nking_Op-
