BBC is not perfect either: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0k7n6kd8yxo
"In February the BBC apologised over "serious flaws" in the making of the programme about children's lives in Gaza, after it was revealed its 13-year-old narrator was the son of a Hamas minister."

There was no correction on what was actually said though. It's a terrible state of affairs when who someone is related to, is of more concern than the horrific and constant terrors they and other children have had inflicted upon them by Israel for nearly 2 years.

agree. Typical propaganda approach, harp on some minor point to change the discussion. Some say Neta created Hamas to weaken another organization at the time. The whole history of what's been happening there is very complicated and nuanced. The motto of their intel org reads, "by way of deception, though shalt do war" so it's not surprising that truth seems artificially scarce.

Because they couldn't independently verify or revise, and Israel can't be trusted either. It's ridiculous how so many BBC articles are like "source: Hamas." This documentary reveal wasn't even surprising, I thought it went without saying.

That's not correct. There was no findings that it wasn't factually true.

There were some fairly questionable translations, like translating "Yahud" (Jews) to "Israel" or "Israeli forces". To me that's more of a red flag than any Hamas affiliation.

US media definitely reports on this too
bbc reports occasionally on the Gaza situation. Like this
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cg4rwrkdlzxo
What happened to the US media? It all seems to be recipes, dating advice, wellness tips on the front pages.
I am in the US but get my news from elsewhere. It is not an option anymore;-)
