I wish the journalists would push back on the HS narrative, especially since there have been multiple videos of incidents of Israel using Palestinians as such.

Also, no one seems to mention that the IOF HQ is in the middle of a residential area, surrounded by malls, apartments, sports complexes, and other civilian infrastructure, and the "War Room" and tunnels run under the city and those civilian infrastructures.

Then there's the refuted lies about Hamas being under/in hospitals, which only the US and Israel seem to still believe to be true.

It's becoming increasingly difficult to watch these briefings and not feel insulted as a viewer and outraged at the hypocrisy and complicity as a human being. I don't know how those reporters put up with it.

I watch snippets of those briefings and it's like watching a Trumpian press conference where news media are treated as complete idiots or 'fake news'. . . So frustrating. I thought Biden and his team were supposed to be the 'good guys'. Not buying it, not one bit.

Especially that press conference yesterday where they danced around the question so much it got the reporters genuinely pissed.

Good that the media started showing some sack. Now if they can direct that vitriol towards Trump and shut him down every time he opens his mouth to spew the shit he considers morsels of knowledge

I agree, but at this point trying to get Trump to shutup is a biblical task. I'd rather their energy be spent on people that might actually change their mind. Its why I'm so mad about all these articles coming out calling on Trump to drop out. Not because I don't want him to, because its a hypocritical response to calling for Biden to do the same.
