Mainstream media outlets are criticized for allegedly promoting a Palestinian narrative regarding events without sufficient investigation or providing necessary context. The article argues that these outlets often fail to report on illegal activities, such as property damage, when the perpetrators are Israelis, particularly anarchists, who are not settlers in the immediate areas. This selective reporting was observed in coverage of events in the Beit'a area on "yesterday and today." The author contends that one-sided reporting is a violation of journalistic ethics, emphasizing the importance of presenting events objectively and including background information. While acknowledging the distinction between facts and opinions, the piece asserts that opinions should not come at the expense of truth.
