Less than two weeks later, when an American- and Israeli-backed aid organization accused Hamas of killing eight of its workers, the Post dinged the group for not "offer[ing] evidence."

NYT: Hamas Tunnel Under Gazan Hospital 'One of the War's Biggest Rorschach Tests'

The New York Times confirmed Sunday that Hamas operated a tunnel beneath the European Gaza Hospital—weeks after casting doubt on its existence. Instead of condemning Hamas for using a hospital as a terror base, however, the paper framed the tunnel as a matter of clashing narratives.

‘We Occasionally Misjudge’: Pulitzer Board Told Me I Was out of Line When I Asked Why the Organization Gave an Award to Palestinian ‘Poet’ Who Made Hateful Comments About Israeli Hostages

We don’t get a lot of emails from the Pulitzer Prize committee here at the Washington Free Beacon, so when I received one in November of last year asking me to serve as a member of a Pulitzer Prize nominating jury, I was sure it wasn’t real—possibly a sophisticated phishing attempt, or more likely a joke at our expense.

As it turns out, the invitation wasn’t the joke—the Pulitzers were. The committee asked me to serve on the nominating jury for the National Reporting category. That meant reviewing the applications to that category and deliberating over them with four other jurors at Columbia University in February, narrowing the pool down to three finalists. Before doing so, I signed an agreement to keep my membership on the jury and our selection of finalists confidential "pending the formal announcement of the winners."
