Claims that “the news is run by Israel” are part of a broader conspiracy narrative that lacks credible evidence and is often rooted in antisemitic tropes about secret control of media or global institutions. Major news organizations are owned and operated by a wide range of corporations, shareholders, and independent entities across different countries, with diverse political perspectives and editorial structures.
