Our Media is desperate for news, the nastier the better.
Consider for example the situation in Gaza. No Western reporters are allowed in so the only source is from either Hamas or the Palestinians (non-Hamas). Both sources have no reason to report anything other than massive civilians. There have been some 'real' reports out of Gaza but I have yet to see any of these in the Main Stream Press (MSP).
Instead we read about 200+ childred killed with no independent verification. Why? Because it makes great press. It doesn't or won't matter if these figures, as so many have in the past, turn out to be pure fabrication. There will be no retractions, no apology and perhaps no corrections published. Instead our MSP will simply jump to some other outrageous claims.
The reporting has been about Paestinian soverignty but nothing on the same thing for Israel. There has been very little on the fact that Hamas has not only broken every treaty and cease fire but also that their charther forbids it and demands only the annihalation of Israel.
