// Basic journalism would have suggested a much more cautious (and balanced) reporting of the events. //
I'm afraid that we need to understand that the standard definition of "basic journalism" has changed in recent decades. Today journalists are more messengers than investigators.
// Up to us as consumers of the news to recognize who is trustworthy - and who cannot be trusted to tell the truth. //
'Twas ever thus, but perhaps much more so now that "telling the truth" has come almost officially to mean passing along the biases of our authorities.
Major media in the the US is fundamentally anti-Israeli (are they anti-Semitic as well, I don't know, but it sure looks that way).
The initial response of the NYT, WaPo, and the WSJ (yes, even the WSJ) definitely accepted the Hamas version over the Israeli version. Basic journalism would have suggested a much more cautious (and balanced) reporting of the events.
Why, given that Hamas are notorious liars?
Bottom line, major media in the US once again showed that they prefer reporting their biases rather than following basic journalism.

You know, I'm sure, that unlimited aid to any country is a sore point for so many Americans. Not limitless aid for Israel, rather aid for any other country. Polling here overwhelmingly shows that Americans feel the Admin and Congress are ignoring the hardships of its citizens while sending money around the globe. This shouldn't be viewed as against Israel (Lord knows, there's plenty of support for the terrorists who ravished your country, unfortunately. Our leaders have allowed untold numbers of immigrants who hate Israel to come into our country, and they are actively supporting Hamas' actions I'm sorry to say). It's backlash against elected representatives who are ignoring the needs of their own countrymen.
I'm hoping with all hope that Israel destroys Hamas, and every other enemy of the Israeli people so you can live happily and peacefully in your land. Best to you and yours.
$10 Billion!!!
For 9.5 million people.
On top of the $4.8 billion that we gave them in 2022.
And $100 million to Gaza.
Don't forget that we owe $33 trillion as our national debt.
We have to refinance our debt; at the the current 4.9% T-bill rate, we will be paying $1.5 trillion a year in interest alone.
This madness cannot continue.
