Last week, after the “all the news that’s fit to print (sic)” New York Times and the Associated Press (AP) and most of the other oh so (un)reliable media sources definitively announced on all their media platforms that the evil Israelis bombed a hospital in Gaza, killing an estimated 500 or so patients and hospital personnel, they definitively, gradually stepped back from their definitive assertions.  Sort of.

Two days ago, on Sunday, the media organizations did it again, taking another teeny step backwards, as the N.Y. Times definitively, kind of, sort of stated:

Hamas Fails to Make Case That Israel Struck Hospital

A senior Hamas official says “nothing is left” of the munition that hit the Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza City last week, killing hundreds. Israel says the explosion was caused by a misfired Palestinian rocket.

Oh.

By the way, the hospital — slightly damaged — is still standing, the adjacent parking lot and area — highly damaged — are still there, but there is no trace — none! not even a fragment — of the munition.  Hmmm...whom are you going to believe — the ever lying Hamas and their press agents at the N.Y. Times, plus other media known for twisting the truth to benefit themselves, such as the BBC, Associated Press (AP), CNN?  Or your lying eyes?

Apparently, the N.Y. Times doesn’t even believe itself, definitively admitting — only after it was caught — on Instagram yesterday:

Given the sensitive nature of the news during a widening conflict, and the prominent promotion it received, Times editors should have taken more care with the initial presentation, and been more explicit about what information could be verified. Newsroom leaders continue to examine procedures around the biggest breaking news events — including for the use of the largest headlines in the digital report — to determine what additional safeguards may be warranted.

Oh.  After well over a century in the news business and supposedly hiring some of the best, highly trained correspondents, they still have “to determine what additional safeguards may be warranted” for verification before opening their mouths?  For starters, expanding their vocabulary to learn such new words as maybe, perhaps, “not verified,” and then use them accordingly.

And here is another definitive new word for the N.Y. Times, the AP, the BBC, and others need to learn how to use properly: terrorist.  Both the AP and the BBC absolutely refuse to use this highly definitive, highly precise word to define Hamas, whose raison d’être is to slaughter Jewish and other infidels’ elderly, children, and handicapped and continue to act evilly accordingly.

And not so by the way, in Gaza, the AP and the Arab news agency Al Jazeera — not known for truth-telling to infidels — are housed in the same small office building!  Certainly a coincidence!

Perhaps chatting with a high school news editor in, say, a small Iowa town might enlighten the editors of the N.Y. Times — and the other definitively lying, distorted, complicit news media such as CNN, the BBC, the AP, etc. — about truth.  Even in conflict.
