Right, and it was probably like this;  ::)
You can complain all you want about how they reported it.
Complaining they reported it is just ridiculous.

Yes. Now answer: why would you ever parrot them as a source for claims against their enemy?
I wouldn't parrot them.
Reporting what they say just reinforces how their numbers are made up.

If they reported it with more of a disclaimer you would have a case. If every time they quoted the they wrote:
"
Hamas has historically inflated the numbers and includes adult terrorists in the amount of civilians and children who are killed"
I would rethink things.

Every day there are reports what Putin said. We all know they are lies 90% of the time. It still gets reported as it should.
This is the same for a number of murderous dictators.
I can't believe this is even a discussion.

Gaza health ministry is quoted as fact by united states senators and congressmen. It is repeated as fact by reporters when speaking about it. Go read all the comments on social media by the average person and their numbers are repeated as fact.

Some news outlets have only now started calling the Gaza health ministry "Hamas run" because of the hospital fiasco. And many still don't.

They are absolutely given way more credence than statements by Putin who the vast majority of people view as a murderous dictator.

When Putin claimed Ukraine bombed their hospital, no one believed him. And later it was proved Russia bombed it, and they were vindicated

Then the senators, congressmen and reporters are idiots.
I am not on SM and no one else should be either. Leave that for Tic-Tok videos.
I want the media to report everything that is said by all sides. That is their job. I will decide what to believe.

No they make it clear they say that so anything they say is not to be trusted.

When they start off with the statement, and end off with the disclaimer, it is very different than if they would do it the other way around. They are not idiots. They know how to sow and spread fake news.

Rather than "At least 5,087 Palestinians have been killed in two weeks of Israeli strikes, including 2,055 children, the Hamas-run health ministry said."

They could have (or should have) written: "According to unverifiable claims by the Hamas-run health ministry, at least 5,087 Palestinians have been killed in two weeks of Israeli strikes, including 2,055 children."

But they choose how to present things.

Same goes for any journalist, no?

But the world wants to hear the story. CNN TV has done an incredible job getting the stories out, though there's very little said about Sa'ad.

What good does it to say Hamas has the fuel when the IDF keeps telling us that Hamas does not care about the people? They are not going to give the hospitals fuel.

You can look at it as Biden is just reminding everyone don't let Hamas win. They want to destroy the peace process.
What peace process? With whom?

I am stating fact. Hamas does not care about their own people. Basically, saying you can get the fuel from Hamas is crazy.

Working towards that might be one of KSA’s objectives
