Israel declares War - Destruction of Gaza / Growing conflict in Middle East

[osh kosh bosh]

Incredible listen

Scott is so damn knowledgeable about war it’s crazy

Took the bait and listened. Didn't drop actual knowledge or new information.

It's basically goofy genocidal fanfiction.

"Russia and China re the good guys" and perhaps have been the "good guys all along"

lolwut?

"the majority of the world" is owned by Zionists. and have "stolen the minds"
of the American people.

so a global conspiracy of jews run the media, and control society. blah blah blah.

sounded better in the original german.

And they can fund and carry out terrorist attacks in Iran and cnn still just calling it a “blast”

If it was Israel it would have been titled “Israel struck by Iran led Islamic Muslim jihadist terrorist attack”

 

[lovehateself]

the US did it

It’s called a “blast” bc it’s fun when they do it.

Huh, that's odd.
Al-Jazeera, funded by the Qatari government, also regularly uses the word blast. Well I guess the CIA must've gotten to them huh.

Wow. Hadn’t seen that. Shame on them. News agency are so bias. Have to read between the lines and use critical thinking when reading news from agencies. To be fair to Al Jazeera article, they did say ISIS in first sentence so it’s pretty easy to see it was a bomb. NYT and cnn didn’t. Still AJ should have put it in title to make it accurate and clear.


Not sure what you’re trying to prove with your post.

"NYT didn't"

Are you sure you're literate?

"CNN didn't"
I guess you want a half point here, since the word bomb is in the second sentence rather than the first?
https://edition.cnn.com/2024/01/03/middleeast/iran-explosions-soleimani-ceremony-intl/index.html

There are plenty of real issues with media outlets, so perhaps you should ask yourself what your point is. Ironically, you're the one in this case fabricating or distorting the truth to fit your narrative.

Cool

Just went to cnn.com

Had to scroll a decent amount to see the article.

If you think media in US isn’t crazy bias (using soft language when talking about Israel and savagery language when it’s their opponents) when it comes to this topic then there is no point arguing.


Agree to disagree. Carry on.

Of course your circle stops right before the second sentence, which clearly states it was a bombing.
"If you think media in US isn’t crazy bias when it comes to this topic then there is no point arguing" is a strawman argument.

I never said US or media in general isn't biased on this topic. I fully agree that media bias on this conflict is a serious issue.
You made claims, I refuted them with evidence. And your response to the refutation is...to fabricate a strawman argument.

There is no real "arguing" with you, as evidenced by the fact that your response to false statements being proven wrong was to immediately conjure up a brand new lie.

You obviously didn't bother even verifying whether your claims about NYT and CNN's coverage of this bombing were accurate. After all, why bother reading a sentence or two when you can just fabricate false claims to fit your narrative?
You routinely parrot unsourced and unverified claims from random Twitter accounts if they fit your narrative. Because, in your own words, it "sounds believable."

How would you describe someone who uncritically parrots unsourced claims to fit a narrative, makes false statements without any attempt to verify their accuracy because the falsehood fit a narrative, and immediately jumps to outright lying when called out on it?

80% of Americans only read the headline. Thats the point.

80% of Americans only read the headline. Thats the point.

It's more around 60% according to polling but yes that's a fair point.
In any case, "blasts" or "explosions" that "killed more than 100 people" doesn't really distort anything about the incident.
No one has claimed responsibility for the bombing and even Iran's Supreme Leader hasn't pointed the finger at any particular group. So what exactly would be the bias here be?

If anything, using the word "blast" instead of "bombing" may get more people to actually read the article beyond the headline.
I imagine that's probably why media organizations across the world routinely use "blast" or "explosions" in the headline, even when terrorist groups have claimed responsibility, to entice readers to click on the article and read more than one sentence.

This is a good example of a headline that, while accurate, displays some degree of bias by withholding any information on why the protesters are there.
I guess it's in the url and literally in the first sentence of the article but unlike the Iran blast headlines, this does not provide any real indication of what took place.
