“Israeli strike kills hundreds in hospital, Palestinians say” is the headline that the New York Times ran on its story reporting the errant Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket that Hamas turned to its own use in the information war. It wasn’t an Israeli air strike, it was the hospital parking lot that was hit, we don’t know how many casualties were sustained, and it was Hamas that “said” it. However, we do know that the Times was not alone in taking the word of “Palestinians” or “Gaza officials” — i.e., Hamas, at face value regarding the incident.

The Washington Free Beacon’s Drew Holden now compiles a list of “the media outlets that uncritically regurgitated Hamas propaganda.” Holden documents the contributions of Reuters, the Times, MSNBC, CNN, Politico, Axios, the Associated Press, and the BBC. Holden flagged his story on X/Twitter. The contribution of Reuters is particularly damaging.

And also that of the Associated Press.

I think the New York Times deserves special recognition. Say what about disinformation? All the fake news that’s fit to print.

Truth dies in the darkness of the Washington Post.

Let’s not forget the Wall Street Journal.

Holden’s story also noted the contributions of individual journalists including Washington Post reporter Evan Hill and columnist Karen Attiah. Holden’s useful story here is accompanied by Thaleigha Rampersad’s video compilation below.
