Ward, A. (2018, May 14). White House says Israel not to blame for Gaza deaths as US Embassy moves to Jerusalem. Vox; Vox. https://www.vox.com/2018/5/14/17353154/israel-palestinians-deaths-embassy-white-house-hamas
Bias through selection and omission:
towards the ending of the paper, it was barely mentioned that children and women were injured.
Bias through placement:
the writer started his article by mentioning a big number of injured and killed Palestinians in order to grab the reader’s attention and starting with what is mostly important.
Bias by word choice and tone:
The use of words indicates a critical perspective to the abolement of Israeli responsibility in Gaza deaths, this is shown through persistent language cornering Shah and the descriptive words such as “stunning” used to discredit the validity of Shah’s response to the death toll.
Bias by headline:
As it was used in the tweet, the 1st thing you see “deadly Palestinians protests” the use of words can grab a reader’s attention.
Bias by photos, captions and camera angles:
It was taken from a low angle which represents the power he holds and his authority. Plus, the hand gestures indicate control.
Plus, as one can see, there are no pictures of the injured Palestinians shared.
Bias through use of names and titles:
There was the use of the word “terrorist group” but not resistance”
Bias through statistics and crowd counts:
The article mentioned multiple times the counts of people injured or killed
Bias by source control:
The article claims that they are receiving facts from “credible reports”, when in fact the core of their factual evidence comes from a secondary source from a non-profit New York based press agency.
Batah’s Observations:
the context was not very clear about the identity of the children and women who got injured.
