It’s not surprising, but it is disgusting.
It almost makes me miss the days of CNN’s notorious “both sides” approach to journalism. With this conflict, they’re just reporting one side.
Incredible - and revelatory - comment/username synergy here.
If you like it, be sure to listen to the album of the same name on your favorite music service.
Or don’t, whatever. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I don’t watch CNN much, but I have an overall impression that for many Western journalists, neutrality means staying close to the views of urban, liberal Israelis. They’re not Israeli hardliners, they’re not angry and frustrated Arabs so therefore they must occupy the perfect middle ground.
And no such thing exists here. The media needs to stop pretending like there is.
It’s very reminiscent of post-911 as well as CNN’s handling of the first gulf war, after which anchor Bernard Shaw admitted CNN had been “bamboozled” by the DOD and Bush administration.
It was obvious to anyone paying attention what would happen immediately after the monstrous Hamas attacks. It is obvious to anyone paying attention what will continue to happen. Fuck sakes, it was obvious to Hamas as well.
The only thing any of us can do is 1. bang our heads in frustration and 2. tell our elected leaders that this shit can’t be done with our support.
Progressive values?
The Grauniad has been on the side of transgender eliminationism for nearly ten years now. Now they are about as progressive as Norman Tebbit.
Wonder if Biden is still disbelieving the Gaza death totals, or if he thinks that the bombed out hospitals are actually just pretending to be bombed out.
