AP Is Shocked. Shocked!
16th May 2021
A couple days ago, the Israeli military destroyed a building that they said was used by Hamas. The Israelis gave their customary warning to everyone in the area to get out, and it appears that no one was hurt. I don’t recall Hamas giving a similar warning to the residents of the Israeli civilian centers it destroyed with rocket attacks last week. Anyway. As it turns out, the Hamas building was also used by the Associated Press. AP claims that they had been in that building for years, and had no idea that Hamas was using the same office space. AP is shocked – shocked! – at Israeli allegations that the building housed hostile forces.
…
Next, what are the odds that AP really didn’t know that Hamas was in that building? In fact, what are the odds that the reason the AP used offices there was to have close access to those they were working with to develop the stories they sought to produce about Israeli brutality and so on? One would presume that AP chose those offices for a reason. Perhaps not. But what a remarkable coincidence – out of all the offices they could have used in that region, they chose those in the very same office building as Hamas. Who knew?

Claude Rains was more convincing.

In their defense, it’s not hard to believe they didn’t know if you have seen one of their broadcasts. They certainly convinced me that they’re totally clueless and uneducated about damn near every subject they report on.
