Early on Thursday (June 6), the IDF announced that it had targeted Hamas terrorists inside an UNRWA school in Gaza - But media outlets reframed the incident by omitting the terrorists’ presence and emphasizing the number of casualties of the Israeli airstrike, making Israel look like it deliberately attacked innocent schoolchildren

media outlets provided the exact kind of coverage that Hamas hopes for when its terrorists use civilians as human shields
Ignoring the Facts
Surprisingly, the wire services — which provide news to the outlets mentioned above — got it right.
So, why didn't the media report it more accurately

Hidden agendas is the reason
@ecksmc: Hidden?
I dunno about hidden, at least not as far back as the 1970s or 1980s.
@thedisasterautist people hide the fact they're bias it becomes part of a hidden agenda - Biased news can have significant and far-reaching consequences, influencing our perspectives and shaping the narrative - some journalists just hate Israel - you can clearly tell that their Bias has become a hidden agenda within certain media outlets
@thedisasterautist well, yeah to some it is glaring, when journalists leave out important facts it becomes hidden to their readers, sadly most folk take for granted that they journalists aren't being bias so there is no hidden agenda, not everyone "researches" what they read people have just become "blinded with loyalty" with media outlets, they wouldn't lie to ME, they can't manipulate ME, they wouldn't get away with that cause regulations blah blah....😆
@ecksmc: I get that. I just haven't thought the agenda/bias hidden at all. I've thought it quite glaring, as I have done with other ones, not to mention careless reporting as well.
