No I'm saying that sources should be verified carefully rather than rushing photos of dead children to the front page and then correcting articles later quietly. The gap between these two events tends to result in more people getting hurt. This has actually happened from major press outfits in the last couple of years (not just Israel/Hamas conflict)

The challenge there is that to some, there is "never a right time". After Columbine, "we need time to grieve", then "we need time to heal", then next thing you know it's 'ancient history' and "we shouldn't revisit it". Next thing you know, it happens again. Rinse, repeat.

All of which is very convenient to ignoring the issue.

100% agree. Right now, when something "happens" I leave it alone for a couple days until the real information comes out. Remember the "terrorist attack" at the Rainbow Bridge on the Canadian border a couple days ago?

Fox News never was and still isn't a reputable news source.

The problem is that the BBC was and now isn't.
