"When was the last time the Times or CNN held Hamas - rather than Israel - primarily responsible for Gaza’s suffering? When it comes to Israel, the mainstream media is not in the business of reality."
I agree. But I also acknowledge that getting at an independent confirmation of the truth is hard in a war. There are statistics coming from the Hamas-run Health Ministry. There are statements from the IDF spokesman, Col. Lerner. But it is hard to do independent journalism without having access to Gaza and reporting from there. I am not blaming anyone. I recognize that it's hard to be a journalist in any war.
