Hamas immediately blamed Israel. And then so did the paper of record.
Very soon after the incident, The New York Times published a story with the headline “Israeli Strike Kills Hundreds in Hospital, Palestinians Say” and sent it out as a breaking news notification. They did so relying on Hamas’s word on the matter.

I don't blame the journalists. I blame the readers. If a reader sees that their source is continuously putting out falsehoods and doesn't change sources, then that reader is actively ignorant.

I blame the journalists. Their number one duty is to report facts, without bias, and through the due diligence of gathering all the facts. The reader has a responsibility to read critically of course and consider what facts might be missing, but that isn't always apparent to them as they are not the journalist.

SSG Paul Endes - "Over hyping" something that's factual while doing the due diligence to report all the facts and avoid omitting critical information is not a problem. There's no such thing as too much information if it is factual. If you feel like it is getting reported too much and you have a handle on the details, change the channel... You're caught up!

CORONAL?
Over The Years And Listening To All The Bull Sh*t We've Been Handed;
Not JUST By Our Own Government, But Every Business & News Outlet
Whom Wants Us To Think And Do Things Their Way.
Quite Frankly I Don't Believe Most Of What I Hear,
And Only About 50% Of What I See.
