Summary

Disinformation on social media has surged since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war, with verified claims from American journalists being considered suspicious or denied altogether. This trend is in line with Americans’ plummeting trust in the media, which has reached a historic low according to a recent Gallup poll. Howard Kurtz, host of Media Buzz on the FOX News Channel and the Media Buzz Meter podcast, joins the Rundown to discuss how many media organizations failed to fact-check on the Gaza hospital explosion story, the impact hate has on the misinformation being spread, and why the media is partially to blame for rising distrust in news institutions. New reports indicate that North Korea allegedly provided weapons used during the Hamas attacks in Israel on October 7th. However, it remains unclear how and when the terrorists acquired them. Former CIA Deputy Division Chief for Korea and Senior Research Fellow for Northeast Asia at the Heritage Foundation, Bruce Klingner, tells the Rundown that the weapons could date back decades and that Russia may be receiving technology from them too. Plus, commentary from host of OutKick's Tomi Lahren is Fearless, Tomi Lahren. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
