Ep. 30. Quick Point: Hostage Rescue; Media Fallout

The biggest story of the week was the hostage rescue in Gaza, where four Israelis who were held captive for over seven months were rescued by Israel Special Forces. The rescue operation was daring and successful, with all four hostages returning in relatively good health. However, the mainstream media twisted the narrative and focused on the number of Palestinians killed during the operation, without considering that many of them were Hamas militants. The media headlines and articles portrayed Israel as the aggressor and downplayed the heroic rescue mission. This highlights the bias and lack of critical thinking in mainstream media.
