The News Right Now…

 …is about Biden’s speech (just concluded) and the explosion at the hospital in Gaza, and whodunnit. 

I would note the figure of “500 dead” came from Hamas. No one has confirmed a death toll. But that news was enough for several countries to cancel meetings with Biden even as he was en route. And even as MSNBC confirms they don’t have people in Gaza to confirm stories from Gaza, they still report “hundreds” killed at the hospital. Because Hamas and the Palestinians say so. Which is why do many countries canceled meetings with Biden.

Objective journalism, ya know.

What I’m not hearing about is this:

After meeting with Joe Biden Israel has agreed to allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza through the Rafah border crossing with Egypt. Once again, Biden leading the charge on softening the Israeli position on Gazan civilians
All the news is air strikes, protests, and bodies. If it bleeds, it leads.
