You’re the one doing the man in street thing though. The post’s point holds up statistically yours doesn’t https://theintercept.com/2024/01/09/newspapers-israel-palestine-bias-new-york-times/

One of your examples was from 2021, before the current conflict. It doesn’t help your argument that you have to go back so far to find examples.

Ap and Reuters are more reputable journalists, but most of the ““news”” is broadcast by spin sites like CNN/fox/MSNBC/whatever crap

Proceeds to show international news wires and international sources to show neutrality, thus steel manning the outrageous meme.

Edit: Find a NY Times or Washington Post next time to invalidate the meme.

No you don’t understand. Israel brutally barraged the car with bullets and murdered her entire family.

Then the 6 year old girl begged for her life on the phone so the khamass Palestinians sent an ambulance. Then israel shot the ambulance that was supposed to rescue her with a tank.

Then israel let this 6 year old girl which was begging for her life on the phone die a slow and painful agonizing death trapped in a car with her dead family members for at least multiple hours before dying from either an infection, being shot again, or a panic attack.

This clearly means that she died of natural causes so israel didn’t kill her directly and they aren’t responsive for this. Do you see how stupid you are sounding now?

By the way you forgot to condemn Hamas.

How much longer can we tolerate this as Americans? This evil committed in our name while the domestic situation and infrastructure crumbles while we see disaster on the horizon …

Arnt they supposed to at least keep us distracted with bread and circus? It’s like they think so little of us anymore they don’t even need to try.

Were all gonna die, arent we?

There will just be a small subset that remain to work on the Boston Dynamics Slave-O-Matics that the ruling elite use for all their daily needs

Superbowl’s tonight, eh? He gets us. I wonder if he’ll smite that devil woman for fixing the big game. If I lose my bet I’m not paying up because she RIGGED it. This is a fight between our LORD and EVIL.

…what’s a “Gaza” anyway? Like Lady Gaza or whatever?

Then, tomorrow, back to work. Company downsized and I do three people’s jobs now for same pay. CEO says I work much harder in the office than from home.

News radio is sad, and I’m already sad, so I’ll listen to a funny podcast in traffic.

Get home exhausted. Maybe do a good deed by up voting the stories people need to hear. Count down to weekend.

Damn. It’s sad how hard it can be to tell when people are being serious or not when it comes to this stuff.

Watched this doc earlier, The Sign: Is the Apocalypse Coming?

If I wasn’t an atheist, I’d be freaking out right now.

There’s too much money involved for our overlords to stop. The Israeli aid lobby is massive and feeds the war machine that our politicians personally profit from. Then there’s money that comes from Jewish donors and other interests that hate Muslims. It’s all about the money.

People will chase you out of the room if you say you’re not voting for Biden for funding a genocide. Because “Trump very bad”. Watch ME get chased out, too, now. Lol

Yeah, because that’s stupid. Not voting for Biden makes a Trump win that much more likely and if you think he’s not gonna fund genocide, you might actually be living in an alternate reality. He’ll also do his level best to ensure Russia takes over Ukraine, hurt women domestically, do as much damage to the LGBTQ+ community as possible, trash the economy for anyone not ultra wealthy, and so on. It’s not an exaggeration to say that a second Trump presidency would be catastrophic, but hey, you show Biden on this one issue, buddy. Good for you for not being able to see the bigger picture and sticking to your principles at the expense of a lot of other people.

Trump would 1000% be worse, but the silver lining of him becoming president is that liberals would suddenly have enough of a spine to say that genocide is a bad thing since trump would be at the helm instead of biden.

And not voting for trump makes a Biden victory more likely.

Why do y’all always leave out that part?

If you’re American you have to vote for either Trump or Biden though, you don’t have the luxury of voting neither… in a two party system an abstention equals a vote for the winner.

Yeah, Biden funds a genocide in Palestine. Trump would do the same (he did move the embassy to Jerusalem…) plus ALSO aiding the genocide in Ukraine as he is already doing with his aid cockblock policy.

There are times when the genocide supporter is the lesser evil. I don’t envy your country one bit.

You are right about supporting the lesser evil. Even so not voting literally does not tally your vote for any candidate. In a metaphoric sense, it could be interpreted that way by media outlets and others with a political agenda.

One day you’ll understand how it works. Hopefully; the rest of us can keep things going long enough that democracy still exists by the time you figure it out.

It’s probably because it’s hard to take them seriously when they’re supporting Russia perpetrating a genocide on Ukraine

I’m voting for Genocide Joe. I’ve entertained voting for third party, but the the threat of fascism under Trump is real . I understand the sentiment, and can’t fault those who choose to abstain or vote third party. But a Trump presidency would effect the entire world and lead to more deaths.

It’s also two completely different stories. One is about an air strike and someone who died in it. Another is about an air strike and someone who called for help and kept people on edge for days wondering if she would be rescued in time. Unfortunately, by the time they found her she was dead. These meme is outrage bait for emotional reactionaries.

Reactionaries are going to be outraged regardless. I don’t think we should cede the media narrative of a genocide to protect their feelings. The rise of fascism can only be countered with education or violence. I choose education.
