All of the corporate owned media is fucked, including centralized social media.
And fuck Reuters too.
So what would be a reliable news source?
Evaluating news sources isn't simply ignoring every media that looks biased and looking for the one that's not (which arguably doesn't exist). It's knowing what this bias is for a few sources and comparing their reporting for the same event in order to make your own opinion.
This is a reasonable answer. I think in the context of this meme we're seeing an evolving story. In the first headline there is no source quoted, in the second the information comes from Hamas, and in the third from Israel. Who can you trust? In this case neither source. But in general I would trust Reuters over someone like Fox
