Trump gets a bump as Biden’s election prospects nosedive | The Listening Post

This past week, a failed assassination attempt produced an iconic image of former President Donald Trump. The clenched fist was a masterclass in taking a dangerous moment and turning it to one’s political advantage. Could that image of Trump - resistant in the face of an assassin’s bullets - carry him to the White House, or will it be the media buzz that accompanies the selection of a new Democratic presidential candidate?

Tariq Nafi has been following the story. Open source journalism in Israel's war on Gaza The bombing of Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza City -  just ten days after Hamas’ October 7th attacks - was a harbinger of the horrors that were to come, as well as the denial, deflection, and disinformation that would surround them. The reporting that followed seemed to point in different directions - some would substantiate the Israeli narrative, that a rocket launched by Hamas was to blame, while others proved that theory false. The Listening Post examined what happened at Al-Ahli, and what it tells us about the strengths and shortcomings of open-source journalism.
