International editor says he doesn't 'feel particularly bad about' his inaccuracies

BBC’s international editor Jeremy Bowen admits he ‘got it wrong’ in his coverage saying the Gaza Al-Alhi hospital was "flattened" (it was never even bombed), but still said he “doesn’t regret one thing” about his reporting and doesn't feel particularly bad.

His inaccuracies: blaming Israel for the al-Shifa missile attack, and referring to the hospital as, "flattened."

I've seen people repeating these inaccuracies constantly on Lemmy.

Do you mean the Al-Alhi Baptist missile or did one happen to Al-shifa now too?
