An explosion near a hospital in Gaza brought out many in the media and on the Left in American politics who immediately believed Palestinian sources in claiming an Israeli strike hit a hospital and killed hundreds of people.
Now it appears that the explosion was mostly in a parking lot, and President Biden today said it appears terrorists inside Gaza launched the rocket (which of course runs contrary to what Rashida Tlaib and others on the Left have been claiming):

Meanwhile, the New York Times did its thing in regard to the hospital explosion. Take note of the photo used on the front page:
New: "As anger rises across the Middle East..."

Wow, @NYTimes, I wonder why?
Then: "Israeli Strike Kills Hundreds in Hospital, Palestinians Say" pic.twitter.com/glwH2lv72A
You might assume the photo used would match the subject of the story, right? Not so fast:
Look at the front page picture of the NYT. The juxtaposition of the picture of a destroyed building and the headline about the hospital implies that it's a picture of the hospital. https://t.co/86fqELzUDu

Every time we think we've reached peak "journalism," another media outlet comes along and sets the bar higher:

No doubt there are many at the Times who are totally baffled as to why trust in the media is so low.
I didn’t even think about that. NYT used a picture from a completely different location while (falsely) blaming the strike on Israel because the hospital location doesn’t have any destroyed buildings. https://t.co/lWreWz3rZv

Unreal.
They should change their slogan? "All the news that fits the narrative"

They do this a lot. Remember NYT's choice of photos of Kavanaugh and his accuser to make him look vile and her a truth-teller? pic.twitter.com/koKYAa86Ym

This is turning into a huge embarrassment for the @nytimes. False headline, wrong picture. Total journalistic malpractice. Literally “fake news.” https://t.co/Oqqqt1Ekcd

Another day brings with it a media outlet covering itself in more journalistic glory.
This is enemy of the people type stuff here. The media in this country is such an abomination, shameful. They don’t want you informed, they are partisan activists, nothing more. https://t.co/CKzFX7qGg7

This is what you get when you have activist journalists covering these events instead of reporters. https://t.co/RDhfVa0N9o

If you can’t even get one real picture to confirm a “fact” you got from terrorists, maybe check yourself before putting it on the front page @nytimes https://t.co/DglBDH8vE0

NYT - you’re doing great 🤮🙄 https://t.co/ugTYNOlp2g

"Doing great" as defined by people like Rep. Rashida Tliab, etc.
