Last December, video emerged showing the bodies of a mother, father and their four sons strewn across a street in Gaza City. Beside them lay a stretcher, shovels and a makeshift white flag.

A New York Times investigation examines how they got there and who killed them.

Well damn, NY Times airing that IDF killed their own hostages is something I didn't expect. Props to Riley Mellen, Neil Collier, Natalie Reneau and Alexander Cardia for doing actual journalism.

When the propaganda machine needs to go, it goes and we get an IDF rape fanfic. Occasionally we do get some good reporting however most of that only appears in "hindsight". They pretend there was a 'fog of war' where there really was none, and then correct all the lies with actual journalism.

Similarly NYT pasted all the lies about WMD's in Iraq and did real investigations years after debunking them.

I did like this investigation by NYT though, the usage of shadows, destroyed buildings and the sky to determine the time were very interesting.

I wonder if they still work there.
