As it reads on Wikipedia · 1 finding marked in the text · see twenty years of this article's openings

HonestReporting or Honest Reporting is an Israeli media advocacy group. A pro-Israel media watchdog, it describes its mission as "combat[ting] ideological prejudice in journalism and the media, as it impacts Israel". It has been characterized as a pressure group that flags media coverage critical of Israel as inaccurate and targets journalists and media outlets.

What the highlighted wording does

㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
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.
