The news on CNN and reported the same way on every other self-respecting news agency:

US President Joe Biden said Israel’s military operation to go after Hamas had been “over the top,” as he highlighted the plight of Palestinians who have endured heavy bombardment and a lack of essential supplies.

Times of Israel:

Biden calls Gaza response ‘over the top’; unclear if remarks aimed at Israel or Hamas

US president was apparently responding to question about hostage negotiations; also said ‘a lot of innocent people are dying, and it’s gotta stop’; White House does not clarify

    I think a lot of these need to be updated after israel’s genocide. Times of Israel might have been credible and unbiased in their other reporting which I presume this data is based on., but now a clear nationalism/zionism is showing.

      It’s a similar issue with Al Jazeera, they’re otherwise a renown publication known for their rigorous reporting standards, until the subject is about Qatar, and especially the Qatari royal family

        I lost a lot of respect for them when they tried to pin the hospital bombing on Israel and not Hamas despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. I’m firmly opposed to what Israel is doing but that shit doesn’t help.

          What evidence? I’m pretty sure the evidence Israel gave was debunked, wasn’t it?

            Debunked by whom? I saw both accounts and then saw reputable outlets make corrections and the reports were corroborated by western intelligence. The Al Jazeera debunk video was incredibly amateur in my view.

              It might be that Al Jazeera one you were talking about. Not sure, I’d have to go looking for it, you might be right. I don’t super trust western intelligence, though, considering that they’re on Israel’s side.

      Authoritarian governments have this strategy of cultivating honest news outlets with good journalism in “peacetime”, so they can peddle bullshit from the high horse when they need it. Same thing happens in Hungary. These guys definitely do exchange ideas.

      Nope, they’ve always been extremely anti-Palestinian. People just didn’t notice because that was the default stance of almost all people with power and influence.

      now a clear nationalism/zionism is showing.

      need to be updated after israel’s genocide.

      Are you implying that these haven’t been updated since 1948?
