Your source to mainline mainstream media misdeeds and malarkey.
Our trouble begins in Gaza, where outlets wanted to highlight the plight that Palestinians were malnourished, yet the sources for this were starving for details. The New York Times was caught delivering some false information regarding a photo it used as evidence, and just as they were in the process of adjusting their story, Axios came thundering in behind them to make the same error.
Meanwhile, there were actually reports critical of Israel over the relief aid challenges. Not that they were preventing it from coming in, but that they were delivering it. The U.N. called it dangerous for the locals, while additionally, some Palestinian sources called it offensive that they were being forced to run out and collect the aid being airlifted in. All the while, you see nothing in the form of criticism for Hamas.
We also saw that there was more good economic news coming out, and of course, this was described as bad news. There was the continuation of the outcry over Stephen Colbert, and we bid a tearful goodbye to one of our favorite fact-checkers, paying tribute in a way he was not familiar with – by finding the facts.
Now, crack one open and savor some outmoded media malpractice and misinformation.
LINKAGE PARK
The New York Times publishes a photo on its front page with an emaciated infant.
The Times has to issue an “Editor’s Note” (not a full correction) on their manipulative photograph.
Axios manages to run other images of the very same child.
The United Nations condemns the delivery of emergency aid to Palestine.
Few are covering how U.N. aid is sitting dormant in Gaza, going undelivered.
CNN reports that it is humiliating for Gazans to collect air-dropped relief supplies.
Somehow, Stephen Colbert is said to be silenced, yet he is managing to deliver “screw-you” messages to Trump on his show.
Axios feels like it is unfair that Trump brokered trade deals that are favorable to the USA.

This smacks of Hamas agit-prop. If starvation is rampant why is there only one child to be found? https://t.co/s95BBWwKzp pic.twitter.com/To6r5mlA4d
