Americans who get their news primarily from cable are the only people who believe that Israel is not committing a genocide in Gaza, according to a new survey that examined the relationship between attitudes toward the war and news consumption habits.
The survey puts numbers on trends that have become increasingly apparent: Cable news viewers are more supportive of Israel’s war effort, less likely to think Israel is committing war crimes, and less interested in the war in general. People who get their news primarily from social media, YouTube, or podcasts, by contrast, generally side with the Palestinians, believe Israel is committing war crimes and genocide, and consider the issue of significant importance.
I don’t think you understand just how aligned all of the networks are on this issue.
Fox’s rhetoric is just the most obvious / laughable (assuming you have a brain)
Yeah, you’re right. I shouldn’t have assumed you were giving cover to the other networks. Sorry if I sounded hostile! Seems like we’re on the same page.
I only get to see it via clips on Seth Meyers but it reminds me of Idiocracy.
