\nLeavitt directly referred to BBC reports that included headlines like \u201cIsraeli tank kills 26 people\u201d and later \u201c21 killed.\u201d The network eventually removed the article entirely. \u201cThey reviewed the footage and found no evidence of anything,\u201d she said. \u201cSo we do review reports before confirming them from this podium. And I suggest that journalists who care about the truth do the same\u2014 to reduce the amount of misinformation being spread globally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
