0:00.0 | In the wake of the explosion at the Gaza Hospital is the mainstream media in the United States and elsewhere having a moment of reconsideration. |
0:09.6 | I'm Scott Ott with Stephen Green and Bill Whittle. This episode of Right Angles brought to you by the members at Bill Whittle.com. |
0:14.4 | Gentlemen, there is an editor's note in the New York Times on October 23rd that goes into details about how they should, they believe |
0:26.5 | now that they should have been more careful about sourcing when it came to the early stories |
0:33.6 | that they wrote and the early messages they sent out to their millions of subscribers about the bombing, |
0:40.7 | so-called, of the hospital. The Times initial alert to millions of its subscribers, the New York Times, |
0:46.1 | that is, said, Israeli strike kills hundreds in hospitals, in hospital, Palestinians say. |

1:37.5 | whole hog in the other direction and say clearly from the evidence of the video that the U.S. government has said, that the Canadian |
1:46.2 | government has said, that external experts have said that the Israeli governments have said |
1:50.2 | was a misfired or a missile from the Palestinian side gone awry. It actually exploded and |
1:58.0 | then changed direction and wound up landing in the courtyard of this hospital. |
2:02.8 | The only mainstream media source that I've seen that really did the work on that was the |
2:07.5 | Wall Street Journal. And they actually hired analysts and they got video and they time-synced |
2:12.8 | it and they showed every angle of it and said, no, it seems pretty clear here that this was not an Israeli bomb. |
