    I adamantly think 24 hour news channels should be shut down and banned everywhere in the world. This happens all the fucking time. I’ve been saying to every idiot that watches any 24 hour news channel that it takes time and work to verify claims. That’s what journalism is. 24 hour news channels simply cannot do it in real time. The only imaginable reason you would want a channel that broadcasts news 24 hours a day is so you can have a place to get information about major events in real time, and that is exactly when they will fuck up the most and report a bunch of emotionally charged lies in their fancy official looking news rooms, and it always happens.

    A journalist from Israeli broadcaster i24News was the first to say that babies had been killed, saying there were 40.

    i24 news is a 24 hour news channel in Israel.
