MODERATORS
the world is learning how important a healthy independent media cycle is, right now as it is going extinct with no sign of returning. it's the thing that defines all of the average person's opinions and values.
there's plenty of studies which point to the fact that exposure to media is indeed irrelevant to determine political opinions.
Rely depressing how so many people just....don't think
I can't tell you how many times I was ignorant of a topic and spent 10-15 minutes learning about it then see hordes of people on reddit or facebook asking other people about it or spreading misinformation about the most basic things cause they're incapable or unwilling to spend 10-15 minutes learning about it.
Is that the one that tried to get democrats to support the gaza genocide? Or did you have a better one in mind?
why would you think this
No, that's not at all what they stated, or even implied, from my perception.
At this point, for example, a healthy media would be calling Israel's actions what they have been determined to be, by experts in the field: A right wing state engaged in a genocide. Several parts of the UN have determined it, as well as a number of independent human rights organizations.
Additionally, the same would apply to all countries, just in case someone is thinking I'm just anti-Israel, or anti-US... China should be called out by all news outlets for their human rights abuses. Britain should be called out for their trampling of human rights too. Same goes for India, Canada, Australia, Germany, Austria, France, etc.
I endlessly have to correct people, both the ignorant and the malicious. I'm not pro-hamas or anti-israel, I'm anti-genocide regardless of who the victim is and regardless of who the perpetrator is.
