Is there some source of great truth we can check >them against, and where is it? The Arab media has repeatedly lied about Jews. From claiming that Jews were warned about the 9-11 attack, which was by Israel to Jewish leaders co-planning the Holocaust, to the Protocol of the Elders of Zion being given as history, regular lies are told. I don't think you will get the same level of fantasy journalism from major US sources. As for the great source of truth, that's a good philosophical question. Even science isn't about the truth, just observations. But, I think it is more than reasonable to require that journalism be consistent with present and historical facts. One can check against them.
