At long last, a major outlet—Germany’s Bild—has dared to tell the public what should have been obvious from day one: they’ve been lied to.

For nearly two years, mainstream news organizations have fed the world a narrative crafted not from the battlefield or by independent journalists, but by Hamas-approved reporters embedded in Gaza. These "sources" are not neutral. They are not free. They operate under the watchful eye of a terrorist regime that controls what is filmed, what is said, and what is buried—sometimes literally.

Imagine, for a moment, if during the Cold War, CBS anchor Walter Cronkite had relied solely on Soviet journalists vetted by the KGB. The idea would be absurd. But that is precisely the standard the Western press has adopted when covering Israel’s war with Hamas.
