As a current journalism grad student, I am absolutely disgusted by @AlexCrawfordSky persistent disregard for even the most basic standards of ethical reporting. First off, @HonestReporting didn't CLAIM you "never said they had no Hezbollah affiliation." They criticized you for claiming @IDF "has offered no evidence" of #Hezbollah affiliation (pic 1). This is a point you have REPEATEDLY emphasized in your reporting on this attack (eg pics 2 & 3). And it is true you have "reported the widespread assertion this connection transgressed int law as they were journos NOT combatants." But you have NOT questioned THAT assertion or pointed out various Lebanese officials or groups like @hrw have THEMSELVES provided "no evidence" the deceased "journalists" are NOT militants (there are no "combatants" in noninternational armed conflict btw). Furthermore, as @AdamZivo @nationalpost has also pointed out in another QT to this same post, "By downplaying this association, and not acknowledging, for example, the plethora of Hezbollah flags at the funeral, you misled your audience (unintentionally or not)." Agreed. Not once have you connected the context you insist on reporting - that @Israel has provided "no evidence" of Hez affiliation - to the evidence right in front of your face, which your entire audience can see for ourselves, that the "journalists" WERE, in fact, Hezbollah members. Nor have you pointed out when doing so that belligerents have no obligation to provide "evidence" that a target was a civilian taking direct part in hostilities (pic 4 for DPH standard) in the first place. The net effect of all this #journalisticmalpractice is that you're going out of your way to spin anti-Israel, pro-terrorist sentiment in your reporting - all the while claiming what you're doing is "news." It's not. It's sheer propaganda. And as an emerging journalist, it absolutely disgusts me that anyone would regard what you're spinning as "journalism" when that's what I am also being trained to do. As I'm figuring out how to be a journalist, your work is a textbook example of what NOT to do. And for anyone looking for "the very essence of dishonest reporting," if they're looking at your work there's a pretty good chance they've found it.

BREAKING: This is another war crime committed by the Israeli Air Force. They are now targeting university dormitories in Iran in an attempt to kill students. At 16:00 today, a strike was reported in Tehran’s Velenjak area, possibly targeting the women’s dormitory of Shahid Beheshti University. Reports indicate the location is inside a residential and academic area, raising serious concerns about deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure. #OperationEpicFury #OperationLionsRoar
