Untitled[edit]

I do not find the article in any way biased. Could the person who objected please post specific objections? I think Ayman is a wonderful journalist, one of the best I have heard on the Middle East. Robert Shell

Chris Kyle comment issue[edit]

It's been reported in two newspapers (the Washington Examiner[1] and the New York Post[2]—and the Post is considered a reliable source) that Mohyeldin referred to Chris Kyle as "racist" and on "killing spree"s. This resulted in a number of retired generals demanding apologies from NBC. Is this relevant to the article, or do we need to wait until some sanction is taken against Mohyeldin by NBC for the incident? —C.Fred (talk) 01:32, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's relevant. It has been, and is being, covered by multiple national news sources. As long as the relevant part(s) of the article is written in neutral tone, and properly sourced, it should stay. Deunanknute (talk) 01:46, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What about the (alleged) death threats against Mohyeldin? Has any news source written about them, or is the only sourcing the primary source of the threats themselves on social media? —C.Fred (talk) 01:09, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas Wictor took Ayman to task[edit]

The Wall Street Journal says eight boys went to the beach. From all the articles I’ve read, here are the names of the eight boys.

Mohammed Bakr, Ahed Bakr, Zakariya Bakr, Ismail Bakr, Hamad Bakr, Younis Bakr, Nasser Bakr, Araby Bakr, Sayed Bakr, Ramiz Bakr, Muntaser Bakr, Motasem Bakr, Moutaz Bakr.

Wait, that’s thirteen boys! The last three names refer to this child, the star decoy.

Though he’s eleven years old, he’s a terrorist operative.

Okay, now you think I’m insane. Well, let me prove it to you. Not that I’m insane, but that he’s a terrorist operative.

He’s interchangeably called Motasem or Muntaser. His story—like those of the five other “survivors”—doesn’t add up. When he spoke to Ayman Mohyeldin of NBC News, here’s what he said.

I was with my cousins. Then they died.

No mention of his brother, who was killed. Mohyeldin was thinking about pudding or bikinis, apparently, because this is what he tweeted.

Motasem, Muntaser, Moutaz, friends, cousins, brothers, nephews, broken army… Why am I being such an old grouch about this?

When Motasem-Muntaser spoke to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, here’s what he said.

First of all, we went to the beach and played hide and seek. My cousin went into the container. We started calling him until the rocket hit him. We ran away. I was running with them. Then they sent the second rocket.

Again, he doesn’t talk about his brother Zakariya. The reason is that Motasem-Muntaser served as a decoy with three cousins. His brother was already dead, murdered the day before. Motasem-Muntaser is a terrorist operative, but he’s only eleven years old. It’s hard for him to keep the lies straight. The official story is that Ismail died in the police post, and Zakariya, Ahed, and Mohammed were killed as they ran. Motasem-Muntaser loses track of the narrative.

Ayman Mohyeldin - Distortion Journalism[edit]

October 15, 2015, Ayman Mohyeldin reported that the Palestinian attacker, clearly caught on camera, dressed in fatigues and carrying a knife, had empty open hands. Mohyeldin reported that he had "seen" his hands and they were empty. His report was deliberately inaccurate, seeking to portray the Israeli authorities as aggressors in the death of this attacker at the Damascus gate. Ayman Mohyeldin is a biased reporter, and his credentials as a journalist are strongly questioned by professionals in his field.

During the week of may 8 2021, Joy Reid had Mohyeldin on her show. He said there is a struggle between Israel and Palestinians for control of the Temple Mount/Noble Sanctuary. Neither he nor Reid mentioned that Israel gurned control over to the Waqf in 1967 and has respected that decision since then. David Roston

2015 False Claim of Witnessing Unarmed Palestinian Shot[edit]

This is an assertion of inaccuracy and/or partisan bias. But it is not merely an assertion, it is a claim supported by reliable media sources - including MSNBC which had to correct Mohyeldin's inaccurate assertions on air. It's pretty serious stuff for a working journalist. While t=I understand the impulse of editors who may be fans of Mohyeldin's work, and/or share his openly expressed POV to delete this documentation of a public brouhaha over his error, when an incident gets covered in significant media, that incident cannot simply be removed from the page.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:13, 20 October 2015 (UTC) Recurring IP vandalism on this topic.
