So there are no gas lines? Or surges at the border of illegal aliens?

"FAKE NEWS" is a NEW SPEAK term.

How about "biased news reporting"?

The story I love this week is Israel destroyed the headquarters of Hamas, the multi-story building also housed a couple of news organizations like Al Jazeera and AP. AP claims they didn't know Hamas had their HQ there. So are AP the worst investigative reporters ever? Didn't they find it funny when they would ask confirmation from Hamas on a news story that their PIO arrived so quickly?

The AP has operated from the building for 15 years, including through three previous wars between Israel and Hamas, without being targeted directly. During those conflicts as well as the current one, the news agency’s cameras from its top floor office and roof terrace offered 24-hour live shots as militants’ rockets arched toward Israel and Israeli airstrikes hammered the city and its surroundings.

“We have had no indication Hamas was in the building or active in the building,” AP President and CEO Gary Pruitt said in a statement. “This is something we actively check to the best of our ability. We would never knowingly put our journalists at risk.”

In the afternoon, the military called the building’s owner and warned a strike would come within an hour. AP staffers and other occupants evacuated safely .

Soon after, three missiles hit the building and destroyed it, bringing it crashing down in a giant cloud of dust.

“The world will know less about what is happening in Gaza because of what happened today,” Pruitt said. “We are shocked and horrified that the Israeli military would target and destroy the building housing AP’s bureau and other news organizations in Gaza.”

“This is an incredibly disturbing development. We narrowly avoided a terrible loss of life,” he said, adding that the AP was seeking information from the Israeli government and was engaged with the U.S. State Department to learn more.

Also, Hamas has been a part of the Palestinian Authority government since 2006, when it scored a landslide victory in Palestinian parliamentary elections.

Remember when President George W. Bush pressed for free elections in Palestine and the result was Hamas representatives being elected, thus becoming a major party of the government. It reminds me of the old saying, "Be careful what you wish for."
