Not criticizing, and this is a terrible situation.
If an article says bodies are piling up, and it has photos of things other than bodies being piled up, the article is either missing the point, or using the wrong headline.
100% believe the reports, but the fact that the photos are things other than the article title hurts their credibility. The article would have had more impact without any photos, if they couldn’t produce photos of their headline item.
Definitely agree, I actually called out another article for literally the same behavior. I just don’t think it’s really necessary here as no extraordinary or contested claims are being made.
MEE has been pretty solid this week. TBH I’ve never heard of them before this week but I have yet to see them make a claim that other major media outlets didn’t eventually confirm.
Pretty sure that media bias site rates them as mostly trustworthy with the issue being that we don’t know who they are funded by but 0 reports of false stories.

I’m sorry who is under the impression that people are not dying? I’m pretty sure no one is doubting that part.
I agree with you. But in any journalism your message is more impactful if you show what your describing, especially if your article includes photos

It is a little misleading, but is the situation. With video.
Edit: It’s Yahoo news and shows covered bodies outside a hospital.
I’m not doubting it, the article doesn’t include the video or photos. Which weakens the article when read by skeptics and people on the fence
I agree. It may be that they don’t want people to not read the story because of disturbing images. “Piling up” does make for a charged headline.
