AP Covers NYT's Ass

Gotta admit they circle the wagons very well.

Here's the headline:

Israel-Hamas war fuels flood of misinformation on social media: Here are the facts

Well, SOME of the facts.  The article runs through a few 'mis-info' items before getting to the 'Hospital Fake' perpetrated by the NY Times, CNN, and other broadcasters.  As you know, Hamas alleged lied that Israel had fired a missile into a Gaza hospital, killing 500 people.  That's the story most of the MSM ran with, because why check the facts?

They wouldn't have had to wait long for that check; when the sun came up, it was obvious that the hospital was still standing, intact--but the parking lot had been whacked.  The damage was not from a 'missile,' but from a rocket.  And the "500" number?  That was--perhaps--the number of car-tires which were burned up.

So how does AP cover that one?  They evade the big story and publish the blathering.

CLAIM: The Israeli military confirmed it bombed a hospital in Gaza in a social media post written in Arabic.

THE FACTS: A screenshot circulating online shows a Facebook post from an account posing as the Israeli military. No such post exists on the military’s actual social media pages and its top Arabic-speaking spokesperson confirmed his office has issued no such statement....

Nobody gives a flying damn about that crap, AP.  

Did the hospital get hit or not, and who did it?

AP response:  We'll talk about the weather in Idaho, or sumpin' sumpin'.

Now you know why nobody gives a flying damn about the MSM.
