The HonestReporting organization, a 55,000-member group that tracks anti-Israel bias in the international media, has announced the winner of its "Dishonest reporting 'award' for the year 2002". The collective awardee is the British media, mainly for its hook, line and sinker acceptance of the Palestinian version of a "massacre" in Jenin this past April. Despite the fact that the United Nations and Human Rights Watch found that the IDF [Israel Defence Forces] had carried out nothing near a massacre when fighting the terrorists in Jenin, British reporters made the following statements, among others:

- Israel's actions in Jenin were "every bit as repellent" as Usamah Bin-Ladin's attack on New York on 11 September - The Guardian

- "We are talking here of massacre, and a cover-up, of genocide...[ellipsis as published]" - London Evening Standard

- "Rarely, in more than a decade of war reporting from Bosnia, Chechnya, Sierra Leone, Kosovo, have I seen such deliberate destruction, such disrespect for human life." - The Times of London

- "Hundreds of victims 'were buried by bulldozer in mass grave'." - Daily Telegraph
