I see this situation differently. I do believe Hamas operated in that building, and I do believe AP and AJ knew that. I also believe that if news orgs wish to strategically locate in Gaza the cost is obedience to its ruling party. So, on the one hand, better, more localized reporting. On the other, loyalty to Hamas.

Not unlike DC reporting.

If the cost of “strategically locating” in Gaza is handling a terrorist group’s propaganda, maybe it’s better not to be there. BTW, your last sentence is simple ignorance as the comparison to DC is specious.

Since I doubt you work in international media, your opinion is worthless. I too see issues with the AP/AJ/Hamas relationship but since I'm also not in international media, I'm deferring to them.

It is exactly like DC, minus the bombing. How the hell do think WMD became supported by national rags? Because media was being honest or because media was being loyal to its sources?

So you’re deferring to the international media for their opinion yet denigrate their integrity in the following sentences? Rather inconsistent for a condescending jerk. Oh, wait...
