      Bro…I live in the US where even the headlines from the NYT are heavily editorialized to act as pro-Israel propaganda. They might report Isreal attacking Palestinians but they’ll make sure to reword any (war crimes) violence inflicted (bombing refugee camps and actual, working hospitals) by Israel forces as “defense” and any violence perpetrated by Palestian-friendly forces as “terrorist attacks”.

        You say “even the headlines from the NYT” like the NYT is representative of the whole of the US news media, which it is not. The NYT has been skewing conservative for some time now

          I mention the NYT because they are ubiquitous. They are literally called, “the paper of record” in the US because they are the most well-respected news organization here by many (not me but many). I could point to THOUSANDS of other US papers and news organizations presenting even more egregious propaganda as well if you need.

          Are you seriously trying to defend the batshit-crazy notion that the US mainsteam media ISN’T biased in Israel’s favour?

        Yeah but they are “talking” about it to make the normies feel OK about the hard work israel has to do to defend itself and clear Palestine for settlement.

        You really should give journalists and editors who hoe for the regime more respect, shitlord.

            🤣 You’re joking, right? You’re calling people who knowingly report lies designed to drum up support for a literal genocide, “journalists”. Blocking you, shitlord. You should be ashamed of yourself.

            I never understood why people announce that they are going to block someone. Seriously, nobody cares. Next you should let us know that you unsubscribed from this community. That’ll show us!
