'The drip-drip of slanted Gaza reporting erodes our sense of right and wrong
The media's role is to disorientate us, so we disbelieve what we can see with our own eyes: that there is a genocide going on, and our own leaders are actively assisting it'

'How is the media still getting the Gaza murdered paramedics story so wrong?
Israel's execution of 15 emergency workers a month ago is incontrovertibly established. So why are the Guardian and other outlets still so ready to fudge the issue?'

'Last year, leading up the White House Correspondents’ Dinner where top journalists schmoozed with President Biden and other agents of genocide, Palestinian journalists from inside Gaza and around the world issued an urgent appeal to their colleagues in the west: Stand with us and stop whitewashing genocide.'

A group of researchers asked 80,000 people across 40 countries about their news consumption habits and preferences. Joshua Benton unpacks the results for Nieman Lab.

Access any #MainstreamMedia ? Good. Good. They have their place in the world. But do us a favour. Go to their #ContactUs page. Do they show icons for #TheFormerBirdSite ? Fecesbook? Instacrap?
I mean, fair enough, these are the Big Players in #SocialMedia and it makes sense to give visitors such links. But if links to the likes of #Mastodon are missing, take some time out of your busy schedule to go ask them why.
Here's looking at you @BBC , for example.

And this is the Electronic Intifada investigation, which I favour over Mondoweiss's opinion piece

Ok, Mondoweiss has an article on these "protests". A lot of rhetoric, over complicating what you clearly see on the Electronic Intifada investigation, at min 12:21. Protesters are shouting against Shiites, a Fatah chant. Someone affiliated to Mohammed Dahlan (senior Fatah) has been seen at the protest, identified by Israeli media. Protest or Fatah hatred for Hamas? I go with Electronic Intifada. Anyways, here's Mondoweiss:

There was an article on Al Jazeera claiming that there had been spontaneous anti Hamas protests in Gaza and main stream media apparently also feasted on it.
Nowhere else on independent or Arabic media in English could this be found. This is the first mention and tangible explanation of the incident.
It was Fatah related, aimed at Shiites and Hamas. Hence the mention in Qatari funded Al Jazeera. Qatar's Sunni and US ally
#NovaraMedia exposing the myth around "2-tier policing" claiming it's favouring ethnic, #LGBTQI+, #NeuroDivergent, disabed, a.o. minorities over white men #CryingWolf.
#MainstreamMedia is not addressing the extreme criminalisation & oppression of people like myself, a Trans person from an ethnic minority with #NeuroDivergent and #MentalHealth disabilities in combination with classist 2-tier policing.

Corporate media are reluctant to call ethnic cleansing what it is: https://fair.org/home/we-have-a-widespread-failure-to-properly-name-this-plan-for-ethnic-cleansing/
When you see this article does it read as if the judges are doning something wrong? Is everything in this country this far gone to the billionaire class?
I wonder if in 1933 Germany there were cutesy dog super bowl stories slid between stories of #Oligarchs taking over the government & slowly deteriorating #Democracy ? #CNN #MainStreamMedia #journalism #Politics #USpolitics #CDNpoli #EUpolitics #News #UKpolitics
The BBC asked minority groups what they thought of the BBC:
"Participants...viewed journalism as a form of oppression that had the same impact on their lives as the police. Journalism in general, and the BBC in particular, they said, felt like an arm of the state."
