Used to be super taboo but here we are
What is this headline trying to insinuate? The BBC does loads of Israel coverage on the shit they’re doing.
I think the article is pretty clear.
The BBC did mention the murder of the journalists last week – kind of. In a single article on its news site, the BBC said that “At least 35 people were killed in Israeli air strikes” and threw in that two newspaper offices “were hit.” It’s almost as if it just happened spontaneously or was incidental – if it happened at all, because it was only “the Houthis’ military spokesman” who said it:
the Houthis’ military spokesman said the targets were civilian, adding that journalists and passersby were killed when the offices of two newspapers were hit.
No mention of the clearly targeted strikes then or since.
Wait so they did mention the newspapers were struck? If they did that why would anyone feel the need to bitch about them ´ignoring the funerals´?
Because more journalists have died in Gaza than all other wars combined, and BBC is trying to present this genocide and blatant disregard for life as if it is just an accident that only deserves one paragraph in one article on a website.
Should they cover every journalist´s funeral (especially if they´ve already covered them being killed)? What other coverage should they drop to create the space? What if they lose all their readers because they´re covering nothing else but funerals?
That would literally only happen in Gaza because of Israel’s genocide. Israel is a terrorist colonial imperialist racist state. Their prime minister is being prosecuted for fraud and corruption as he orders his military to sniper babies and children in the head and chest. So yes.
You sound like a very sad person.

Why aren´t you reporting on that child´s burial? I guess you´re trying to hide it from us, just like the friggin´ BBC!
Also, you sound like a happy person
Ok, so I assume you don’t really pay attention to the news, or have any understanding of how journalism generally works, which is understandable, no judgement here.
