In response to Only journalists who support the Gaza war can report objectively on it

A question of counting?

I refer to the ‘journalism’ outlined in this article and cannot but stand dumbfounded by not just the audacity of the perpetrators but the willing ignorance of many.

I would like to offer an example in support.

As of 10:20am Saturday morning, I read the latest ABC News article with updates on the Israel-Gaza war. The first section is about the number of deaths since the ceasefire has ended.

Gone is all reference to the horrifying tally (constantly reported like bloody sports scores) that reached over 14,000 just a week ago.

It should be 14,178. Not 178.

Where does a decision like this come from?
