YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In his exposé on Bari Weiss’s appointment as CBS News editor-in-chief, John Oliver singled out The Free Press’s Gaza famine report as a prime example of sloppy, agenda-driven journalism. Weiss’s outlet called the famine a myth and claimed the children had preexisting illnesses.

➤ Journalist Maha Hussaini, reporting from Gaza, and Ryan Grim investigated those same cases for Drop Site News—tracking down families and medical records. Their reporting shows it was starvation, not illness, that emaciated the children Weiss’s site used to deny famine.
