"They will spin it by showing only Israelis attacking and Palestinians damaged or harmed," he explained. "They'll call the Palestinians fighters, militants," instead of terrorists.
"In one embarrassing CBS appearance they'll call them soldiers by a factor of 13-1 to terrorists," he added. "It's outlandish."
There have also been other issues with specific reporters, as well.
"CNN had to send home one of its reporters because she referred to Israelis on Twitter as scum," Gainor explained.
"NBC has Ayman Mohyeldin in Gaza," the MRC official said. "Ayman used to work for Al Jazeera. Al Jazeera is funded by the royalty of Qatar, which conveniently also funds Hamas."
"It's fair to say Ayman's coverage of Gaza is all very, very positive from the Hamas side," he added.
