BBC admitted it was ‘wrong’ to report that Israel struck the Gaza hospital.

I doubt AJ will do likewise. A few years ago I caught them lying to discredit g20 protestors.

To their credit, the g20 video they streamed alongside their false commentary is enough to discredit their interpretation of events.

It isn’t “to their credit”. They slipped up by including the visual evidence which proves their reporter lied. The reporter was on site, not in a studio.

The hospital was not hit by a missile. The car park was. There was no way 500 people were sleeping there. The footage was available the same day.

In addition, AJ streamed live footage of missiles from Gaza including the one which turned around and (presumably) hit the hospital.

Meanwhile zero images of the hospital being hit have been released to this day.

I doubt Israeli newspapers are any better but AJ messed up big time.

You are the one treating this like football teams with your whataboutism re the Israeli newspaper.

Nevertheless I responded by saying I doubt Israeli newspapers are better but you ignore that part.

And you characterised the g20 report slip-up as commendable because in your mind they deliberately planted the truth as an Easter Egg for internet sleuths.

I doubt I am in a discussion with someone who is impartial here. Blocked. No need to aggravate each other further.

Who offered the settlement? Who rejected it?

So if I pay $10k per year for insurance and the insurance company spends $5k on fixing me then the total is $15k?

If so then doesn’t this paint ls USA in a worse light than it deserves since universally funded countries would only count $5k in this graph.

It goes something like this…

[after an hour in the queue]

Me: I am wondering why my DSP payment inexplicably decreased.

Clink: Sorry you have come through to the general help line, you need to call the disability line…

[One hour later]

Clink: Oh it is related to your assets, you need to call another line

[One hour later]

Clink: Oh you will need to request a review, that is another department

[One hour later]

Clink: You need to come into an office

[Next day]

Clink: Did you book an appointment? You need to book an appointment

[Next week]

Clink: Do you have photo ID? You will need to go to Service NSW to get a photo ID

[Next month]

Finally submit a review then rinse and repeat a couple of months later when your review gets ignored.

She made a typo. They estimate the review takes 48 days (not 48 hours). My review has gone way past 48 days too.

The irony that the author doesn’t actually address here is the fact that this whole system is so clearly not treating the people it is supposed to serve with respect.

It is implicit in her closing paragraph. She is a skilled writer.
