The indispensible CAMERA writes about their experience with Israeli (left-oriented) newspaper Ha'aretz. In response to a CAMERA request for a correction to columnist Amira Hass's use of the term "Jewish-only" to refer to West Bank roads...
In the event that this [CAMERA complaint] gets to you: We have a quasi 'policy,' on the orders of [editor-in-chief] David [Landau], to ignore this organization and all of its complaints, including not responding to telephone messages and screening calls from Tamar Sternhal [sic], director of CAMERA. Otherwise, we will never finish with them.
Thus, Ha'aretz editors appear to have little interest in the accuracy of their coverage or the accepted standards of journalism - unlike their American counterparts - and seem to believe (wrongly) that not returning a phone call or responding to an email will deflect CAMERA's efforts to redress false and inflammatory assertions.
