Why are some big media outlets prefacing "Gaza health ministry" with "Hamas-run"? I know it's run by Hamas, but are they doing this to imply doubt over the accuracy of the figures?

Yes. That's exactly why they're doing it.

They all trust the veracity of their numbers internally just as well as they would with anyone else's numbers. But they want the public to doubt them so they can believe there isn't a genocide and that thousands of children haven't been indiscriminately slaughtered by "the good guys".

It's done entirely in service of that narrative. And it's why folks in this thread occasionally chirp in here to do it as well.

RE is now upset that media accurately reports that the health ministry is run by Hamas and not some sort of independent branch

You issue one little propaganda report about a hospital full of 500 people blowing up that turns out to be a gas canister in a parking lot, and suddenly everyone is all "oooh, this source isn't strictly a neutral observer"
