Appears? There's video and photos of people burning to death. At least one of the victims has been identified. There are reports from traumatized eyewitnesses. Why the timid headline? Do we have to wait for Israel's word on what happened?

The people who own/work at CBS certainly seem to think so, which says a lot about their "journalism."
I don't exactly see an exodus of journalists to more independent publications because they refuse to print such horseshit, so yes, the people who work there are part of the problem, too.
tbh though work at large publications are probably easier to get/pays better/more reliable, so it's not like journalists that stay at these places necessarily agree with the publications' stance
The media and our their leaders have disastrously misjudged the public's acceptance of Israel's actions, imho. I speak as a Canadian who is wholly disgusted in his government and media reaction to this. I feel like I'm part of an abandoned majority sold out for votes and money because my government seems to think I'm OK with this based on their response. I expect a response equal to our disgust of Russia's invasion and genocide. Greater, actually, for both. Not abstaining at the UN. Not just cutting off arms. I think we should be a vocal and active part of absolute international outrage at Russia, Israel, and everyone else party to this power play of worldwide history worship.
"We" had some moral ground in disgust of Russia. I feel my government and others have passively or actively accepted and now promoted it in service of the billionaire class.
