Here Are the Media Outlets That Uncritically Regurgitated Hamas Propaganda
Hot Air ^ | 18 Oct 2023 | Free Beacon

Many of the same outlets have obsessed over the spread of “misinformation” in recent years yet created their own by parroting Hamas during a war the terror group savagely provoked with Israel.

The journalistic fiasco was an example of the media’s tendency to adopt the Palestinians’ narrative about the conflict with Israel, even when that narrative is unsupported by the facts. In this case, there were geopolitical consequences: U.S. Democratic lawmakers and Arab leaders condemned Israel for the bombing, Jordan canceled a planned summit with Biden, and riots broke out in the West Bank and elsewhere in the Muslim world.

Immediately after the hospital blast, which occurred around 7:30 p.m. local time, outlets reported that Israel had bombed the facility, killing hundreds of Palestinians. The reports generally referred to their source—the Hamas terrorist group that governs Gaza—as “Palestinian officials” or “health authorities.”

Without reading the article, I think it's safe to say that ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, NYTimes, WaPo are all on the list.

The usual reliable outlets for left-wing propaganda.

remember, FakeReporters are all over Gaza, yet none could go check on the hospital.

google searches for the hospital “images” didn’t show even one pic of the hospital, just injured individuals etc.

at one point, it was said 1,000 died and the inference was it included babies in incubators, etc.

tv reports up to yesterday would just show some burnt out cars in the car park, and I would shout “pan out so we can see the hospital” which plenty of reports said was “levelled”.

now we get the simple us of the world “NEAR” for USA Today to bring the news the hospital was not really hit, with pics of the hospital standing with minor damage!

all this deception from a FakeMSM which preaches about misinformation, disinformation, malinformation, etc!!!

bury the MSM.

Why does Big Media get away with this?

Their effing lies and slanted "reporting" may end up causing WWIII. 😠

People believe they are unbiased "journalists" telling the whole truth, and react accordingly to their stories (even when they may not be accurate).

They (BM) will never admit that they are biased. They don't ever run disclaimers about their reports. And rarely will the give both sides of an issue.

We would be in a much better place if the world would start questioning brainwashing Big Media's reporting, before reacting to it.

“Why does Big Media get away with this?”

[I’m only responding to this one question]

Because every day is a new day and every day there’s a new story and there’s little, if any looking back to confirm the credibility or validity of any given story. Whatever mental space you as a viewer or consumer you choose to fill with today’s news or, should you choose, wondering whether yesterday’s news was valid, there’s a new stream of blather coming out of whatever appliance delivers the particular news channel to your face. This is how you know that it’s entertainment, brain cell embusyment, not information.

Because all the media is owned by the same people.

The US news media is so gullible for anything demeaning to the US. Remember when they printed a photo of an American Soldier captured by ISIS? Hook, Line, Sinker!
It turned out to be a GI JOE doll.
