Media challenged over “fake news” stories claiming Bible is untrue
Leading British media outlets have been accused of publishing “fake news”, after stories emerged claiming the Bible has been disproved.
This week, The Independent, The Telegraph, and the Mail Online reported that new evidence disputes “the Bible’s claim” that the Canaanite people of the Old Testament “were wiped out” by the Israelites.
However, the Bible makes no such claim, with numerous verses describing the Canaanites’ continued existence in the Promised Land.
