It was a challenge finding a site without a paywall and had all the info in the article, not just one or two abbreviated highlights.
Haaretz have been credited by most sites as the ones to break the story but their article was behind another paywall.
Given the state of commercial media in Australia, itâs perhaps not surprising that they donât really report on this war, especially when foreign reporters arenât allowed in Gaza (and 7/9/10 probably couldnât afford to send any even if they were allowed).
There is a lot of stuff that gets put out on socials by people living in Gaza, but the problem with networks using that is verifying it.
The international networks are probably your best bet if you want coverage of Gaza. BBC, CNN, Sky UK all report on it regularly (though again, theyâre held back by Israel banning any reporters not embedded with the IDF).
Al Jazeera has by far the most comprehensive coverage, and has done since this war began. They are one of very few networks to actually have reporters in Gaza, which is because many of these reporters live there anyway. However it is quite biased towards the Palestinian side (I imagine because itâs an Arab network) in a way the Western channels arenât, so you do have to be a bit careful.
As someone living in Britain, Iâll just say that The Telegraph isnât so much a newspaper these days, as it is a right wing fanzine, so I wouldnât take that piece as at all reflective of how western media is covering this war.
As opposed to say the guardian - the left wing fanzine
Your point being? The British papers are a law unto themselves and always have been⌠each one has their own slant on things. None of them are really neutral. The Telegraph stands out because much of it is essentially fanfiction for the hard right, the types who worshipped Boris Johnson and think we should cut off all relations with the EU.
I read the telegraph, Iâm not hard right and donât support brexit.
The telegraph has been extremely critical of the state of broken Britain under the tories. Extremely.
Iâve read it about 2 years now and every second story is about how Britain has fallen behind the US in just about every measure and is is a nation in decline
Itâs pushed for fundamental change in how Britain is run.
So youâre the exception that proves the rule! 
I donât want to get into a political debate because this isnât the thread to do so. I will say that whilst the Telegraph sometimes gets their diagnoses right, they very rarely give the right cure. Itâs all very much based on the idea that the Tories failed because they werenât right wing enough, that Liz Truss had the correct ideas but was brought down by the Tory wets. Some of what they print is borderline conspiracy nonsense.
But anyway. Back to coverage of Israel-GazaâŚ
I think thatâs a fair point
ABC changes âcorrectâ way to report on Middle East
The ABC has been accused of twisting the truth by introducing âjudgmental languageâ in a directive telling staff to describe the actions of Israel on the Lebanese side of the border as a âland invasionâ.
Employees were last week sent instructions by the manager of editorial policies for news, Mark Maley, explaining new Middle East Conflict Guidance Revisions which explained how to correctly report on ongoing conflicts.
âConfirming here that we are now describing the current actions of Israel on the Lebanese side of the border as a âland invasionâ,â he wrote in an internal email obtained by The Australian.
Media Watch covered the mediaâs coverage of the one year anniversary.
Over 100 journalists have been killed
Al Jazeera has put together one hell of an expose about Western outletsâ coverage of the war:
This in particular is extremely embarrassing:
In November, CNN International Diplomatic Editor Nic Robertson embedded with the Israeli army to visit Gazaâs bombed-out al-Rantisi Childrenâs Hospital.
Once inside, military spokesperson Daniel Hagari claimed to have found proof Hamas was using the hospital to hide Israeli captives.
Hagari showed Robertson a document on the wall written in Arabic, which he said was a roster of Hamas members watching over the captives.
âThis is a guarding list. Every terrorist has his own shift,â Hagari told Robertson.
[CNN journalist] Adam recalled the broadcast as âan embarrassing momentâ for CNN.
âIt wasnât a Hamas roster at all,â he said. âIt was a calendar, and written in Arabic were the days of the week. But the report that came out from Nic Robertson just swallowed up Israelâs claim.â
âŚ
âOne colleague saw the report and flagged to Nic, [saying,] âHold on, people are saying that this is not accurate,'â Adam said. âAnd apparently, Nic said, âAre you meaning to say that Hagari is lying to us?â
A not surprising report by The Nation, comparing CNN and MSNBCâs different approaches and wordings in reporting the Middle East versus Ukraine:
Meanwhile, Sky News UK has received quite a bit of flack over the past few days, over their efforts in subtly or intentionally siding with the Israeli governmentâs narrative:

They and BBC would probably be the prime subjects for a UK version of the researchâŚ
Quite interesting I thought to have Sky News UK coverage quite reasonable especially their interviews as well as BBC, thought they were holding all sides to account pretty well.
I think BBC and Sky can be going on opposite âextremesâ seen by the two camps, as Daily Telegraph claimed this last month:
That itself contrasted to the AJ expose @NuStraya posted a few posts above.
So it might be interesting to see an analysis using a similar methodology to The Nation report, to see
I tend to a agree that they could both t interview the extremes although I believe that other media outlets o cover exaggerate a lot then actually is. I found this conflict I find that the British networks do cover more the conflict from both angles, but a report would be interesting. Although I do one thing would be important to consider is the access that networks got for both war. With Ukraine they were able to vast teams of journalists in there which was able to help give a wide arrange to storytelling.In contrast to Gaza where Israel as not allowed for international press to go in, and a lot of local journalists have fled, so does restrict the range of storytelling,
I think itâs such an emotionally-charged topic, on both sides, that itâs difficult to truly objectively assess any bias in how itâs been covered. Needless to say, a lot of people on each side have extremely strong views, and so theyâre perhaps more likely to claim that any coverage that doesnât align with their views is biased.
The CNN report shown in the AJ doc I posted last week was a particularly clear-cut example of poor journalism because the reporter, for whatever reason, allegedly chose not to fact-check what he was told by the IDF spokesperson. That being said, I think some of CNNâs other journalists have done a decent job reporting on the war (esp. considering they are not allowed into Gaza).
Al Jazeera Media Network calls for the immediate medical evacuation of its injured journalists in Gaza.
Reports that Israelâs attack on Iran and Syria has started.
ABCs had a ticker that keeps appearing and then vanishing. Presenters havenât acknowledged it yet.
