I'm not sure why they want to continue posting L's on this one, but whatever: Who knows what rattles around in some minds?

Anyway:
https://freebeacon.com/media/here-are-the-media-ou...

It wasn't just that they got it wrong, but a lot of "journalists" rather than evolving their stories and doing a better job decided to turtle up and double down:

Journalists on X also promoted Hamas's version of events without proof. Then, as evidence began to emerge suggesting that Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a Hamas affiliate in Gaza, bombed the hospital, many of those journalists fought to prevent the media coverage from shifting.

And of course
Still, the media were not deterred from relying on Hamas for information. On Thursday, outlets continued to cite the terrorist group's improbable claims about the numbers of dead and injured. NBC News on Wednesday broadcast a report from a Gazan journalist who said that "according to the experts," 900 people were killed in the hospital blast, and only "the Israeli occupation" could be responsible for such a large death toll.

On that last point, CNN's revised headline from Jessie Yeung takes the cake: "Hundreds likely dead in Gaza hospital blast, as Israeli blockade cripples medical response".

Just take this L along with all the others, gang.
