What is the media to do?
Hmmm. I read the articles at the links you posted, but I didn't see what you seem to have seen. I just see a news article.
My understanding is that the media's job is to report the news - the good, the bad and the ugly. The reporters here appear to be simply describing a sad episode in a very bad week in the current conflict.
It's bad news, but not entirely unexpected bad news, at that.
If there is any blame to be levied for this episode, I think you need to look elsewhere.
