Media Bias

It is astonishing and outrageous that most major national media organizations reported that Israel blew up a hospital in Gaza, killing hundreds.
The source of the information was Hamas, so that immediately disqualifies any honest journalist from citing Israel as the attacker.
Right?
But no. The Associated Press, Reuters, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, The Washington Post, and the New York Times all inflamed a violent situation by reporting the Hamas accusation. None of those agencies had any backup for their reportage.
What they should have said, if they were honest, was something like this: a hospital in Gaza was hit with rockets today. Both Israel and Hamas blame the other."
Is that hard? Then, you report casualties.
Subsequently, US intelligence puts the blame on a rocket misfire by Islamic terrorists. That has been widely reported, but the damage is done. Millions of ill-informed people believe Israel is responsible.
America has a major problem with the corporate media companies. And that problem is getting people killed.

The NY Times headline on its website's front page, "Israeli Strike Kills Hundreds in Hospital, Palestinians Say". lol, they ran with info provided by the Hamas-run Palestinian Health Ministry!

Latest Gallup Poll:
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- At 34%, Americans' trust in the mass media to report the news "fully, accurately and fairly" is essentially unchanged from last year and just two points higher than the lowest that Gallup has recorded, in 2016 during the presidential campaign.

Just 7% of Americans have "a great deal" of trust and confidence in the media, and 27% have "a fair amount." Meanwhile, 28% of U.S. adults say they do not have very much confidence and 38% have none at all in newspapers, TV and radio. Notably, this is the first time that the percentage of Americans with no trust at all in the media is higher than the percentage with a great deal or a fair amount combined.

The media used to get away with their bias, but now with social media they no longer can. Folk see the NY Times for example, not once in its reporting use the word terrorist. For the most part, the media is nothing more than an arm of the DNC.

Lol, "struggles". CNN and the NY Times didn't struggled at all reporting on the rocket story. They ran with whatever Hamas told them! It fit their narrative.

The media used to get away with their bias, but now with social media they no longer can.

Even without social media, it becomes more obvious every day to many that on ANY given subject the media narrative simply doesn't match or align with the real life observations and experiences of ordinary people.

What they are doing now is an effort to put Hamas on the same moral equivalent as Israel. This is why they will not call them "terrorists".
