Reporting should not include commentary. I don’t disagree that this is genocide and ethnic cleansing. But editorializing belongs in editorials and opinion pieces. I want facts. The headline here suggests that Israel is calling it ethnic cleansing themselves, which is not the case.

This is why I’m often critical of CommonDreams as a publication. Their headlines are misleading and they mix opinion with reporting.

To be clear, this is not a problem unique to CommonDreams. I’ve lost a lot of respect for the NYT and CNN over Israel and Palestine coverage. The NYT has also put out some polls with terrible methodology lately, and it's been independent, left wing publications pointing that out. And I've liked their coverage, it was just focused on the facts.

All editorializing in reporting is wrong. CommonDreams is just more blatant about it.
