The media is notorious for presenting biased and misinformed coverage when it comes to Israel and the Palestinians. What's the cause behind the distortions?

Israel's hosting of Arab journalists is an 'inexcusable and unjustified disgrace,' the Palestinians charged.  

Hamas and the PA suppress freedom of the press and prosecute journalists who expose their corruption.

Fearing that their freedom is in jeopardy, many Palestinians view the Palestinian Authority as a burden and demand that PA head Mahmoud Abbas step down.

Amnesty International denounced the Palestinian leadership for taking further steps to quash dissent by choking freedom of expression and the press.

“If the Israeli authorities will give me permission, I would love to live here, with all my heart and soul."

In the world of the Palestinian Authority , a journalist's loyalty to his leaders and their cause supersedes his loyalty to the truth. In a word, it is the truth vs. Abbas's security forces.

The Ghanoon newspaper said in a statement on its website Monday that Tehran's prosecutor ordered it to halt operations based on allegations of 'libel and spreading lies to create public anxiety.'
