The initial version of NYT article parroted Hamas' statement that "Israel Strike Kills Hundreds in Hospital", and also used a stock photo that had nothing to do with the hospital.

If this is not narrative, I don't what is.

And I quote the word "progressive" because I don't think that's real progressive. Progressives care about truths, and don't jump to conclusions that fit their belief.

But not the version that the OP linked.

A mistake. Note that basically all the wire services made the same mistake. Reputable services corrected the mistake. Disreputable ones didn't. That's what the original article is about.

> And I quote the word "progressive"

And I changed the word to "far-left" for much the same reason. It's not terribly accurate either, but shrug.
