Where are we?? And what's going on
We are in Northern Gaza where there have been many attacks such as this one on and in the vicinity of medical facilities despite the numerous number of doctors, patients, and civilians around the area. Almost all of the hospitals in Northern Gaza have been severely damaged or completely destroyed in only the first 2 months of Israel's war against Hamas.

This is a good example of visual bias which catches more people's attention and usually alerts them how serious something is once they can actually see it instead of hearing about it. According to Gladstone, "News that has a visual hook is more likely to be noticed" (9).

Reports have been made on CNN that explain how Israel has accused Hamas command center being underneath the medical complex and that the group has used it to hold hostages therefore making the attacks justified or fair but still cruel.
This is a good example of fairness bias which according to Gladstone, "Journalist will bend over backward to appear balanced by offering equal time to opposing viewpoints, even when they aren't equal. Often they bend to the right, to evade the charge of liberal bias" (13).
