What is this headline trying to insinuate? The BBC does loads of Israel coverage on the shit they’re doing.

  BBC has a streak of white washing their genocide of Palestinians. The “coverage” is not that good.

  I think the article is pretty clear.
  
  The BBC did mention the murder of the journalists last week – kind of. In a single article on its news site, the BBC said that “At least 35 people were killed in Israeli air strikes” and threw in that two newspaper offices “were hit.” It’s almost as if it just happened spontaneously or was incidental – if it happened at all, because it was only “the Houthis’ military spokesman” who said it:
  
  the Houthis’ military spokesman said the targets were civilian, adding that journalists and passersby were killed when the offices of two newspapers were hit.
  
  No mention of the clearly targeted strikes then or since.

    Wait so they did mention the newspapers were struck? If they did that why would anyone feel the need to bitch about them ´ignoring the funerals´?
