    The plight of civilians only entered the media sphere after weeks of false news about the october 7th attack that was used as justification for the UK’s complicity in the massacres that followed. It’s the media trying to save face as the public learn the truth from other means.

      I don’t recall seeing any false news on the BBC. They tend to be very good at verifying what they are told and generally say that there were reports of things happening if they haven’t verified it.

      Either way, we are only three weeks from the Oct 7 attack and the BBC has definitely been showing the plight of civilians for a significant proportion of that time so it certainly wasn’t “weeks of false news”.
