One section suspicously POV[edit]

I've found many areas were editors have unfortunately quoted articles of fit a certain POV. Mind you, I'm AGF here, but in articles like these this isn't particularly unique. Here is the section:

Government Press Office chief Daniel Seaman on 25 Jan denied that Israeli government policy banned foreign reporters from Gaza from 8 November 2008 through 21 Jan 2009, and denigrated the media as "crybabies...unwilling to make effort" to get to Gaza, and asserted that all but 3 percent act as "a figleaf for Hamas". [2] The Foreign Press Association had petitioned Israel's High Court to get unfettered access to the Gaza strip. Press restriction appears to have been part of the propaganda campaign of Operation Cast Lead. source.

Here is the original source:

"In hindsight, next time we should make it an actual policy. This week proves it. All of the reporters have been let in and they are accepting everything everyone says at face value. Maybe 3% are calling and asking for an Israeli response, or talking to the IDF spokesman. They are a fig leaf for Hamas.

"Their coverage right now is a disgrace to the profession. Instead of reporting, they are settling scores. Reporting without both sides, without a context is an abuse of the profession," he declared.

As you can see, the Jpost is a rather balanced though somewhat critical POV. However, the article paraphrasing hardly resembles the original tone and syntax. I plan on fixing this but I felt it was important to post it here since users seem to be trigger-happy with the revert when they see something they don't like. :D Wikifan12345 (talk) 19:28, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

POV 2[edit]

Article doesn't criticize the Palestinian media. 95.35.60.97 (talk) 15:15, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the tag. You need to demonstrate non-compliance with WP:NPOV using evidence in the form of sources that meet Wikipedia's WP:RS criteria. In other words, you need to show that there is information present in reliable sources criticizing the Palestinian media in the context of Operation Cast Lead that is absent from this article. A POV template would then be justified, but what would be better would be for you to add the information. Sean.hoyland - talk 16:44, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
