Too often the media simply skip the breaking stage of a news story and head straight to the follow-up.
Because a breaking story presents only the essential facts, and those facts cannot disguise the nature of Israel’s crimes.
Instead the media moved straight to the follow-up, in which Israel was allowed to foreground its atrocity “denial” with the camera claim.
But further, major media outlets all chose as their follow-up Israel’s ludicrous rationale for an illegal attack on the hospital: the red herring of the “Hamas camera”.
Uniquely, its headline “‘Politically motivated intimidation’: George Galloway reportedly detained at Gatwick airport” captures the story the British media is carefully avoiding.
