I can't wait to see a good critique of how liberal newspapers were too gentle on Israel, maybe the National Review can provide a good counter arg-

The Washington Post’s coverage of the Israel–Hamas war has been a case study in moral confusion and anti-Israel bias

Oh no. I wonder what kind of horrible bias they have

Loveluck and her team never bothered to ask Israeli government officials for comment. “The Post neglected to seek comment from Israeli officials for this article, an omission that fell short of The Post’s standards for fairness,” an editor’s note affixed to the article reads.

They weren't missing facts, they were just not sharing the other side for why a bunch of babies had been separated by Israel

When the paper did reach out, Israeli officials predictably explained that the October 7 terror attack created an unstable security situation

Sure was predictable. If you look at the article, it mentions the October 7 terror attack twice (before the edit, it was once), so this was never hidden.
