I'm down with it, other guy!

Clearly we don't want more annexations, I just wish somebody in the region was capable of preserving the life of children here.

[-] WamGams@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

I don't think any of us would accept Israel taking the children. Obviously nobody wants a refugee crisis, but Israel would be the cause of that refugee crisis, not the solution.

How many healthy pets do they actually euthanize?

Is this something they are regularly doing, or is there one or two cases?

[-] WamGams@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

I would say in this specific situation, Al Jazeerah is more of a participie in the Israel-Palestine war than the New York times is.

I however don't read the New York times and have no ability to defend them, since I cut out corporate media from my life years ago.

Besides NPR (which itself does not do international on the ground reporting) which of your sources are state funded? Specifically which of them are funded by a right wing theocracy?

None. That is the difference. Fox News might overtly hate gay people, but are they funded by people who have courts which prosecute homosexuality?

We should prevent that sort of stuff at home and disavow it abroad. Especially if we are leftists, no?

Well I notice Fox is a common denominator in both stories, and I do believe people who get their news from that source are generally guillable at best and uneducated at worst.

But I also think all sides are equally capable of getting things wrong, which is why we need independent journalists (such as those aligned with Bellingcat, for instance) to have reporters on the ground.

I would have to know what specific allegations you are making against other media sources before I answer that question.

[-] WamGams@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

I am willing to listen about how bias works if you are willing to inform me.

[-] WamGams@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

What do you mean by left? Anticapitalist? I have never heard any bias in favor of socialism, communism or anarchism, but if you can point me to something you have that works as evidence in favor of your argument, I am happy to look at it.

Otherwise, I think we have to consider the fact that you don't know what you are talking about.

Democrats in 1996 believed black children were super soldiers incapable of feeling pain.

Anybody who says the Democrats have shifted rightward has one legitimate excuse for thinking so: they are 12.

That is one I do particularly love.
