Part 8/10:
Media coverage has also been plagued by questionable reports, such as the false claim that Israeli forces bombed the Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza. In reality, investigations have shown that the explosion was caused by a Palestinian rocket misfiring, yet initial reports blamed Israel, with some outlets admitting errors after the fact. This pattern repeats itself, with death figures from Gaza’s health ministry being used uncritically by many outlets, despite potential manipulations.
The question persists: why do some media outlets continue to propagate narratives that favor Hamas or portray Israel as an oppressor? The answer may lie in entrenched biases, political pressures, or a failure to scrutinize sources thoroughly. This has serious implications for international opinion and policy.
