Not a bunch of grumpy fishermen. If you watch several sources you can definitely see a difference especially a week or two later when the rest of the story is revealed.

actually a bunch of grumpy ol fishermen I bet have a better accuracy than a lot of news sources have been such as CNN and NBC in particular. most recently who got the Gaza hospital bombing right from the get go I think fox from ste start reported it correct while CNN and NBC accepted the hamas report that it was Isreal and I bet most of the ol grumpy fisherman from the very beginning doubted the story because common since was Isreal does not bomb hospitals and hamas does and their rockets are very unreliable so on the face of it, the initial report that Isreal did it was very questionable

So you’re saying a bunch of grumpy fishermen all just so happened to be in Gaza and documented how things actually transpired?

Did they all take their story to a news source? Did they all evacuate and return home to the US miraculously and then post it on a fishing site?

The opinions of the grumpy fishermen are and pointed as your favorite news source. I guarantee you the one that is least trusted by the masses is least trusted from past experience and factual things they did. But go ahead and tell us your opinion because we all know you will. Doesn’t have to be the truth but at least you think we will all believe it as fact.

Yeah so. I never believed it as it was reported but you need to blame who told the news agencies what happened. Oh maybe the grumpy fishermen were over there regardless of what has been recommended. Were they Palestinian Fishermen? Israeli ? You and your buddies ? Just curious. So you’re saying YOUR favorite news source was accurate but the one they constantly hypnotized all its followers to dislike were inaccurate?

I have heard more recently that what ALL ( including FOX fake news services ) news agencies stayed is not necessarily what transpired as in maybe not so many people were hurt.

I’m not concerned which one is better than the other. In time I will know what really happened. I don’t watch just one and assume everything they say is true because someone convinced me they are always truthful. Ever notice I don’t constantly state which news is the only real news? It is hilarious that many do and the ones that usually do are Fox worshippers. Then when lawsuits are settled and Fox is proven wrong it’s worshippers still argue in favor of them.

Jeremy you miss the point the blame is not on who told the news agencies what happened when it comes to their reporting but on the news agencies who did not verify and do some confirming of the the facts before reporting it. If you and I and the other ol grumpy fishermen had the common since to doubt the validity of the story why didn't several of the news sources. CNN reported Israel bombed a Gaza hospital and 500 dead. That was irresponsible reporting considering the source. Fox reported hospital bombed in Gaza Hamas blames Israel and says 500 dead but Israel denies bombing the hospital and is looking into the bombing. now which one was more accurate in their reporting. One accepted the story as true and laid the blame on Israel the other reported the event and accusation but also reported Israel's denial and that they were looking into it. Then there were the old grumpy fishermen like you and me that just flat out didn't believe it at face value because we considered the source and past history of both Israel and Hamas. by the way we were not there but neither was CNN or Fox we all just were reacting to Hamas's press release. As it turns out we now know thanks to Israel releasing secretive intel along with the US releasing our own intel that what happened was a missile was fired from the cemetery next to the hospital and it malfunctioned and came down on the parking lot outside of the hospital and actually did minimal damage to the hospital and had far fewer than 500 casualties and Hamas was just using it as war propaganda to gain world support for their cause. so how should it have been reported? maybe something like this "Hamas claims that Israel bombed a hospital and their were 500 casualties but Israel denies they had anything to do with it and is investigating who was responsible. We need to be careful not to assign blame until all the facts are known as of this time no evidence has been given that Israel was responsible." but of course our "news agencies" are so political motivated at this time they want to rush to put the blame on who ever that furthers their political leanings, which leaves it up to the grumpy old fishermen to use common sense when evaluating the news stories and common sense more time than not turns out being what is correct

You should check your facts before you post.

I just went through the CNN archive and found the very first article posted on their website on the day of the bombing. See screenshot below.

Papa … Thanks dude. Give him a minute. It’s always the same. According to some on here Fox is always right. I no better though. I don’t ever claim any of them tell us like it is but I know which one has tried hard to tell us like it isn’t or make us believe every other news agency is inaccurate.

I’m laughing because you proved one of the claimed inaccuracies was a fake account of what happened. It’s normal. I think some of these guys sit and listen to podcasts when they’re not watching Fox so essentially they’re hypnotized just like that particular news agency wants us all to be. Just like Don the Con always saying “ Fake News “ after 3 times and then many more… most fall for it.

Thanks again

Told ya Papa. Hypnotized. No matter what you’re not going to break the spell. I don’t want to go blue in the face again over things that are just another thing to divide us more.

What I have been told yesterday ( doesn’t make it true BTW ) is that more like 50 died and it didn’t destroy the hospital it was in the parking lot.

I don’t believe this latest thing I was told yet anyway but if it’s true then Fox like the rest ran with the news before checking on it’s facts just like they ALL do anyway. Thinking I give two craps about it all is not true either. Sometimes it’s entertaining to see how hypnotized so many are.

Ok, so what? I guess CNN got it right even earlier.

FOX didn't get it right until 2 days later on the 18th. (All of the earlier articles were filled with he-said-she-said finger-pointing.)

I use a combination of CNN (ap), AP News (ap), Politico(ap) and Reuters (daily news letter) on a daily basis. CNN almost always is the first to report with their 'exclusive reports'.

Between the four sources, I can get a pretty good and balanced view of what's happening.

Ok, I read the CNN article.

Did you?

It's about how other news agencies are in the fog.

Thanks for illuminating my point.
