It's a "media intifada," notes Gary Weiss, an old colleague and one of the world's top business investigative reporters. He is referring of course to the ongoing war in Gaza, where journalists working for American news outlets have, he says, “become part of the Hamas war machine... it’s high time to dig through the carnage that many of my colleagues from major U.S. media outlets are leaving behind...
Since late July, I’ve conducted an in-depth look at the credibility of the media coverage, plus interviews with military experts and some journalists covering the war...“We’re talking about journalism that functions as a tool of a terrorist organization, Hamas: breathlessly pushing its narrative, whether cowed by its threats, sympathetic to its cause, or simply ignorant...”
It’s as if there’s only one side, and this could be a result of two reasons: Either journalists are looking for the easy story, the available story, what’s in front of their eyes. Or they’re being intimidated by Hamas. And I believe that what we’ve probably had is a combination of both.”...it helps to empower Hamas, which has been designated a terrorist organization by the U.S., the EU, Canada, Japan, Egypt and Jordan.

That article was from 2014. Sadly Forbes today is firmly in the hands of the globalist Left and virtually never strays from the narrative or tells the truth.
Or they proactively support Hamas without intimidation, and will go as far as omitting the Israeli side of the story. Nah, the media always provides full coverage to all sides.
I will pay to serve on the guillotine execution squad for our media following CW-II. Will pay double to run the rusty dull bladed one.
Which is why I said "Which article I think is likely to be removed in the future" though as yet a few writers that lean to the right may remain.
Which type the article actually documents.
Yep...2014....That’s what it says in the title, but thanks for telling us....
Could you tell me why my relevant topics are no longer listed (now I see none) - Crime/Corruption; Foreign Affairs; Israel; War on Terror. Thanks
Thanks and I thought of that, but such archived content also can be nuked if the copyright holder requests/demands it.
Peruse later.
