International editor says he doesn’t ‘feel particularly bad about’ his inaccuracies

BBC’s international editor Jeremy Bowen admits he ‘got it wrong’ in his coverage saying the Gaza Al-Alhi hospital was “flattened” (it was never even bombed), but still said he “doesn’t regret one thing” about his reporting and doesn’t feel particularly bad.

    His inaccuracies: blaming Israel for the al-Shifa missile attack, and referring to the hospital as, “flattened.”

    I’ve seen people repeating these inaccuracies constantly on Lemmy.

      I admit, I was surprised at how many people are indifferent to the truth (at best) regarding this conflict. I know some people in real life who see a lot of antisemitism in modern American society and I used to think they were paranoid but now I’m not sure what else could be motivating this sort of motivated reasoning.
