    They reported that Hamas had tunnels under Al-shifa hospital hours before it was bombed by Israel, and then refused to cover the fact that the response by Israel was blatant disinformation.

    They reported that pro-palestine demos were “supporting terrorism”, and were actually told to BROADCAST an apology. Despite this, their apology was more “we’re sorry you got mad” and refused to outright say they lied.

    They reported on the “40 beheaded babies” (As did all the UK media) yet this was demonstrably false and was simply quietly ignored from future reports.

    EVERY single palestinian support they interviewed in the opening days of the bombardment were asked if they “condemned hamas”, implying that anyone who DOES support palestine is a supporter of terrorism.

    I think this all counts as weeks of false news, both implicitly from their refusal to properly cover the genocidal rhetoric and behavior of Israel, to the explicit lies and mistruths from the newsdesk.

    If you don’t recall seeing anything false then congrats, you’re the target audience for the propaganda.
