The corrupt American media really is just a propaganda arm of Hamas terrorists. 66% of evening “news”casts have cited whatever Hamas has stated as fact.
The American news media have been catching a lot of flack for uncritically quoting Hamas as a source for much of their on-the-ground coverage in Gaza. In the month following the terror organization’s horrific October 7 attack on Israeli civilians, exactly two thirds of the evening newscasts on ABC, CBS, and NBC cited either Hamas itself or Hamas-controlled entities when reporting on the conflict.
MRC analysts examined all evening newscasts from October 9 through November 9 on ABC, CBS, and NBC, taking note of every instance in which a reporter or anchor used Hamas as a source in their coverage. Of the 81 total broadcasts that were not preempted, 54 or exactly 66.7 percent contained at least one instance in which a journalist cited Hamas as a source.
There was near-exact parity among these networks in the frequency of their Hamas-sourced reports. All three cited the terrorist organization in 18 of their evening newscasts.
Those 18 newscasts represented 69 percent of all non-preempted editions of the CBS Evening News and CBS Weekend News, meaning only eight of CBS’s weeknight broadcasts did not include a statistic or factoid attributed to Hamas. The other two networks weren’t far behind; there were just nine editions of NBC Nightly News (exactly one third, or 33.3%) and ten of ABC’s World News Tonight that were devoid of Hamas-sourced reporting.
