Huckabee rips mainstream media, questions why it took word of Hamas who ‘butchered babies’ on Gaza hospital bombing

Mike Huckabee gives sage advice to Congress on electing a new Speaker of the House and rips mainstream media of its no questions asked advocacy of Hamas’ accusations against Israel after it accused the country of bombing a Gaza Hospital earlier this week causing an uproar across the Middle East and social media. Huckabee comments that the media has done a disservice its lack of oversight given to the verification of the actual culprit for the bombing of the Gaza Hospital. Huckabee says, “what a ridiculous thing it is to see [Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib] scream, yell, and bawl her brains off and blame Israel for what happened and apparently it didn't happen at the hospital, but in the parking lot and all the evidence, video, audio, geo-location evidence shows that this was not an Israeli airstrike even though the media rushed to say that it was and I'm thinking, ‘My gosh, whatever happened to that old view from the Chicago Sun Times where the longtime editor said, If your mother says she loves you, kick her in the shins and make her prove it.’ That used to be the standard in journalism, you took nothing at face value, you demanded to get more than one source and you didn't run with it until you could verify it. Well, here is Hamas, a terrorist organization that had butchered babies and burned grandmothers in their wheelchairs and we were to take their word for it that they said it was an Israeli airstrike that killed 1000 people, therefore, it must be true, because who could doubt them?”
