Just An Odd Public News Thing To Witness

If you were reviewing German public TV (especially ARD, Channel 1) on Tuesday evening....the hype from the Tagesschau over the hospital 'bombing' ran along a particular story (Narrative).  

By the next morning, a fair amount of what you watched via the Tagesschau evening show was then proven to be 'fake' or misinformation.  

I'm not going to say much over it....you could see the same problem with the NY Times and a dozen other 'big-boy' news groups.

What was odd....then out of the woodwork came Andrea Kiewel, who was based out of Israel, and a German public TV reporter for the Tagesschau (ARD news).  She'd tried to convey other facts in the hospital 'attack' and failed to get any real traction with the studio control folks..

Within a day or two, she'd gone to publish a article/piece for the "Judische Allgemeine" newspaper.  

Basically, she blasted the editorial staff of the Tagesschau...using the words....“Those responsible were deaf to everyone’s ears.” 

In simple terms....they were merely a mouthpiece for Hamas BS.

Her criticism?  I'm guessing she's probably finished with ARD, and will just quietly walk off to a lesser organization.  The odds of finding a path to RTL or SAT1?  Well....both have been assembling a decent crew of cast-offs from ARD/ZDF and starting to show some competitive nature.

This criticism lingering a while for German public TV?  I would imagine it'll be remembered for a number of weeks, and they will be under pressure to avoid Hamas hoax stories.  

Yeah, it was just an odd event to play out and witness German public TV news getting clobbered.
