Still MSM streams Hamas edited footage as if it's reliable.

Watchdog: Gazan reporters ‘intimidated, threatened, assaulted by Hamas’.
Committee to Protect Journalists says phenomenon ‘vastly underreported’ due to reporters’ fears of coming forward; journalists self-censoring rather than reporting on dissent

Gazan journalists face beatings and threats by Hamas while covering anti-Hamas protests and dissent in the Strip, forcing them to self-censor to ensure their safety, the Committee to Protect Journalists reported Thursday.
In a report headlined, “Gaza journalists speak out about Hamas intimidation, threats, assaults,” the media watchdog lamented that the phenomenon has been “vastly underreported.” It noted that the Palestinian Journalists’ Syndicate, the Palestinian journalists’ union, does not publicize the testimonies it compiles of Hamas attacks on reporters because of fear of reprisals.
Gazan Tawfiq Abu Jarad told CPJ, a New York-based NGO, that he complied with a Hamas security agent’s warning not to cover a women’s anti-war protest on April 27 in Beit Lahiya, adding that the agent told him he would be “responsible” if his wife took part in the rally.
