8. Most Maddening Map Misrepresentation: MSNBC. Here: "MSNBC found a novel way to present wanton Palestinian aggression as reasonable and appropriate – by leaning on outright pro-Palestinian propaganda in the form of a series of maps distorting the region’s history."
"Even a small amount of research would have revealed the maps’ distortions, so it wasn’t long before MSNBC apologized on the air.
. . .
"Of course, if journalists wanted to depict Palestinian intentions with a map, they could easily find one that erases Israel entirely. Now that would show what’s really at the heart of the current wave of violence."
