It's almost like much of the US support for Israel is manufactured by powerful people with vested interests in deceiving the public.
Worth noting from the article that there are clearly similar problems at the BBC.

Yup. They started running everything by their Jerusalem bureau over 20 years ago: BBC appoints Middle East tsar
The BBC has created a new senior editorial post to advise on its Middle East coverage, as the corporation continues to come under fire for alleged anti-Israeli bias.
Malcolm Balen, a former editor of the BBC's Nine O'Clock News, has been appointed "senior editorial adviser" based in London but working closely with the corporation's Middle East bureau in Jerusalem.
You could feel the tone of the coverage shift at 6am, when the day-shift started.
This happened shortly before Thompson took over. He's taken the method to CNN.
ABC in Australia as well.
This conflict has really woken me up on the bias that our media presents as "factual". WSJ, NYT, The Guardian, CNN, BBC, all of them loaded to the brim with pro israeli language and one-sided reporting.
Even repeating straight up lies and just using the IDF as quotes to deflect any blame. Fact checking is no longer necessary, you can just verbatim quote the worlds biggest terrorist organisation. When their stories get debunked as lies there's no followup correction or apology either.
This is one reason I like to keep Al Jazeera around. It's helpful to see what slant they take sometimes.
Journalism died a while ago
