Where the score comes from

Each technique the reading found, as a share of its articles. Tap one to read the passages.

• Hedges the documented recordThe genocide in Gaza, the ICJ's findings, the ICC's warrants or the illegality of the occupation and the settlements are written as allegation, as disputed, or not at all where the article turns on them. In an opinion piece, a direct denial of the record is a false_claim citing the record, not this technique.63%5 of 8
• Uses the occupation's wordsDisputed territory, Judea and Samaria, a neighbourhood for a settlement, evacuated for expelled, a security operation for a raid, in the outlet's own voice.50%4 of 8
• Leaves out what changes the pictureThe article leaves out a fact about the event it reports, which the outlet had or other outlets reported about the same event, and without it a reader believes something false about that event. Background the article is not about (overall tolls, the wider crisis) is not this technique.38%3 of 8
• One side gets the spaceOne side's voices fill the article when the story concerns both, and the other side appears only as numbers or not at all.38%3 of 8
• Gives a contested claim the last wordA party's claim ends a passage or the article with nothing against it, when the article itself, the coverage or the record shows it is contested.25%2 of 8
• Writes the death outA killing or a death is written in words that hide it: eliminated, neutralised, removed a threat, lost their lives, died for were killed, a toll with no word for killing in it.25%2 of 8
• Other techniquesWays of misleading the reading found that our list does not name yet. Each one is named in plain words on its article's page.25%2 of 8
• Drops what it reported beforeThe outlet or the reporter reported a fact or a description of the same event earlier and now leaves it out or softens it, so a reader of this article believes something the outlet's own reporting contradicts. Not repeating background totals is not this technique.13%1 of 8
• Headline goes beyond the articleThe headline states what the body does not support, drops the attribution the body gives, or puts in quotation marks words nobody in the article said.13%1 of 8
• Hides who did itThe actor of a killing or a harm is taken out of the sentence (were killed in a strike, an explosion hit, a building collapsed) when the article itself, the coverage or the record shows who did it.13%1 of 8
• Sanitises violence or disorderMostly peaceful, scuffles, clashes or tensions, where the article's own facts or the same day's coverage show violence or intimidation.13%1 of 8
• Writes Palestinians out of their own storyIsraeli suffering is told with names, ages and detail while Palestinians appear only as numbers, or not at all, and nothing about the scale of Israel's killing in Gaza is said.13%1 of 8
