HonestReporting or Honest Reporting is an Israeli media advocacy group. A pro-Israel media watchdog, it describes its mission as "combat[ting] ideological prejudice in journalism and the media, as it impacts Israel". It has been characterized as a pressure group that flags media coverage critical of Israel as inaccurate and targets journalists and media outlets.
==History== HonestReporting says its mission is "to combat ideological prejudice in journalism and the media, as it impacts Israel". It was founded in October 2000 by Shaul Rosenblatt, founder and head of Aish Hatorah-United Kingdom in response to controversy over the Tuvia Grossman photograph at the outbreak of the Second Intifada. The episode is often cited by those who accuse the media of having an anti-Israel bias, and was the impetus for the founding of HonestReporting.
