HonestReporting

HonestReporting is an organization that monitors media coverage of Israel. Through 2020 the opening's own short description called it an "Anti-semitic media monitoring organization" that monitors the media for bias against Israel. Today that description is gone, replaced by "Pro-Israel media monitoring organization," and the word antisemitism does not appear in the opening though it survives seven times in the body. A reader arriving now learns the group calls itself pro-Israel and not that Wikipedia once described its function in terms of monitoring antisemitism.
