Thread. Is it too early to talk about how bad the reporting was yesterday after the attack Boulder, Colo.? No. I don't think so. Reporters, for the most part, you failed your assignments. 1/11

For years now, there has been a concerted effort to get journalists to stop quoting only law enforcement. Yet, nearly every news outlet did just that. So good on @aghaubner.bsky.social‬ at @cbscolorado.bsky.social for talking to a witnessed to what happened. 2/11

Now let's talk about labels. The event that was attacked as called "Run for Their Lives." I saw this labeled over and over again as a "pro-Israel march" or "a march for release of "Israeli hostages." And neither is correct. 3/11

I went to the website of "Run for Their Lives" to check and it is a 1 km run/walk calling for the release of hostages held by Hamas and asking people to carry the flags of the various countries represented by those hostages held. 4/11

So, for those not in the know, let's run through that: among the hostages (alive or dead) are at least 2 Americans, 1 Tanzanian, 3 Thai, and 1 Napalese. Yes, the rest are Israeli. (Were the Boulder walkers really were only walking for the Israeli hostages???) 5/11
