I don't trust anything the media is saying about this situation tbh, they've been reporting false claims from hamas and it's hard to tell what is the truth and what is the media trying to push the narrative from an actual terrorist organization.

Either give a shit or don't then. Try to confirm it.

There are obvious ones where there is some discrepancy, like the hospital blast. Gaza said 471 dead. Estimates sit at 100-300. The media got it wrong initially, and then corrected. Most people that get pissy at the media don't recognize that they typically correct themselves. I don't like CNN, but they usually put in a fair bit of work, even if it's largely repetative and has a lot of fluff.

Other stuff like civilian death estimates have been corroborated via various means. Hamas can go fuck itself from my POV. I still don't agree with the methods of Israel's respose, because the civilian casualities are definitely disproportionate. It's definitely past around 5,000 dead - those numbers are not very contestible.
