Human Rights Watch (HRW) said on Sunday that evidence suggested a misfired rocket was the likely cause of an explosion that resulted in heavy casualties at a hospital in Gaza on Oct. 17.
People do not need excuses to accuse something of being fake news. Also, there really weren’t a lot of reporters that actually reported this as an Israeli airstrike - they mostly just reported about the claims that were being made of an Israeli airstrike, but tried to stay neutral.
Though yes, some jumped to conclusions. Reasonable conclusions in my opinion, but that’s bad reporting.
But if truth matters, then we shouldn’t react to bad reporting with wild and speculative claims about people lying to make Israel look bad.
Well the initial reporting was that it was Israël, it was updated a few hours later to more generic language, but the push notification I got then was " Israël kills 500 in bombing of Gaza hospital".
Your comment on fake news is correct… I used a hyperbolic term often used by the MAGAettes et al. I more meant to say is that the average person will be more able to ignore all the reporting because such a big and horrific event turned out to be less cut and dry than initially reported.
Reasonable conclusions… I tend to disagree as both sides are skilled manipulators of the truth, and both have shown to have no qualms of doing this on the backs of dead children.
I tend to trust the internet osint community more than the mainstream media, as the online sleuths usually add the supporting information to their claims.
And your last point I agree to completely, we should not be jumping to conclusions or making wild accusations. Both sides of the conflict (so not the civilians caught between them) seem to be grade A assholes.
