Los Angeles Tmes fails journalistic integrity test-- again

Unfortunately, some media outlets refuse to uphold professional journalistic standards, degrading the quality and credibility of news coverage across the board. 

Thus, The Los Angeles Times notably failed to correct the claim that more than a third of Bnei Brak residents, or 75,000 people, were believed to be infected, though Maccabi, the HMO which was the purported source, had quickly disavowed the inflated figure.

Similarly, while The Financial Times, responding to information provided by CAMERA, corrected the false claim that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shuttered Israel’s courts, The Los Angeles Times (again) along with The New York Times failed to correct this false claim. (Justice Minister Amir Ohana, a Netanyahu-ally, curtailed court activity, with the backing of High Court Chief Justice Esther Hayut.)
