Oh it's not just the journalist / vermin. I was on a flight with a couple of politicians and overheard their discussions at the gate. They were all talking about the horrors of Gaza, while also saying that Israel had killed 18.000 HAMAS members (back when the casualty count was believably around 40.000). These weren't junior MPs either, but party bigshots from some of the non-junta parties.

I'm kind of surprised that none of the BlueMAGA freaks have mentioned that prior to the War on Terror, there wasn't really a muslim constituency within the democratic party. Famously George W. Bush won the majority of muslim votes in 2000, because Al Gore had picked Joe Lieberman, and Lieberman was considered a dealbreaker among arabs precisely because he was too much of a zionist, while Bush just kept his mouth shut about that particular place.

I think "Hang Mandela" was the unofficial slogan of the Conservative Youth Party or whatever they are called. I think they also argued a lot with the main party about how much the UK should be supporting Rhodesia in it's civil war, if I remember my weird tories correctly.

She recently posted about how Jews have the right to ethnically cleanse Israel of anyone non-jewish and seemingly cited both the Bible and Torah as the historical basis for the claim to the land (she specifically mentioned the jews getting help in the form of divine intervention to return to Israel after the slave-time in Egypt).

Ukraine peace summit that somehow does not involve Russia. Strangely, I don't have a lot of faith in this resulting in anything.

The american propensity for war-cheerleading is gross and disgusting, while simultanously being the main reason why the US takes L after L on the international stage.

Just watched an interview on Danish State Media (DR) with their China Correspondant about the meeting between Xi and Biden. According to the "journalist" Xi wants a meeting because China is trying to handle a bunch of crises such as "sluggish economy", "regional disputes with neighbouring countries", "A relationship with Russia that makes China unpopular in Europe" and "a relationship with HAMAS that makes China unpopular in the Middle East".

But remember, propaganda is something that only the bad countries do, and our journalists are getting critiqued by the left and the right, so that must mean that they are "objective".

I think some Greek comrades on this site pointed out that the Communist Party had to survice some pretty intense persecution during the millitary dictatorship days, and one of their strategies was to become incredibly insular, so most of the party leadership is supposedly pretty old, with almost all of our beloved boomer-brainworms. However supposedly the average age of the membership is dropping pretty rapidly, because the liberals and broader right is being perceived as looting the country on behalf of the EU/Germany.

the CIA is presumbly trying to recreate that network that got got in China, and so don't really have the time or the inclanations to help out a competing empire.

A few months ago Danish State Media ("DR") had two amazing pieces back to back in it's nightly programming. The first one was an austerity measure, where Denmark apparently had to cut some staff, as we had a hole in our budget worth about 1,5-2 billion DKK (or some other figure I can barely comprehend). The litteral next segment was a fluff piece about how Denmark was one of the most generous nations when it came to supporting Ukraine, as we had given them equipment for a grand total sum of 1,75 billion DKK. This was of course presented as a fantastic piece of news and showing how good and selfless we are up here in the civilized north.

Probably the closest you will find is a bunch of people (including yours truly) who commented during the very brief takeover period in 2021 that was genuinely incredible that the US had managed to create 0 effective government after propping up a puppet for 20 years. People were looking at it like with a certain level of schadenfreude and bemoaning the fact that the entire occupation was for naught, except allowing local opium growers time to export their goods to the big pharmaceutical companies, which probably helped cause the opiod crises that is ravaging poor, rural areas.
