It’s like taking cops seriously about giving people contradictory Simon Says instructions & shooting them

MoreMoreTankieChapo even caught a ban for being a MoreTankieChapo ban evasion sub, when they were in fact a leftist infighting schism sub.

express disgust at cruelty and waste but stick within the narrative and keep track of when the rules change

They don’t even do that, that at least would honor the martyrs who have been killed doing journalism in Gaza. They instead altered their English coverage to be less anti-Israel after Blinken ordered them to. They cucked.

Qatar should have told Blinken to fuck off and have western media spend a month in Gaza to align their reporting with reality, but instead they folded and sold out Palestine like all the gulf states do

This Orinoco Tribune article posted by Al_Sham (well-highlighted) in the news mega got me thinking about how I need to write down my impressions the way seemingly radical journalism can subvert and demoralize, I’m sure this is better put by other people.

To lay out a few general traits that I will back up with examples (starting with ones less likely to piss people off then moving up)

equivocating US/NATO/Canada/Aus/SK/Japan/Zionist tactics/political aims with enemy

defeatism, under the guise of outrage. US/etc. side is merely accused of disproportionate response. the sustainability of our tactics isn’t questioned, but the morality of it is. it is frequently remarked it could be spent on healthcare instead. (this enforces more myths about government spending than it dispels, which you can see by how it gets equal play with libertarians)

strictly using US/NATO/etc. sources, even if critical. uses the logic of anti-disinformation against what you’d consider

amplifies existing messaging possibly without attribution

dilutes & prunes messaging to get more coverage within the Western media sphere & its outputs

sensationalism focuses attention on redundant events & doesn’t examine the larger program an atrocity is a part of (My Lai for instance, Doug Valentine calls this out in the book he wrote after the Phoenix Program, mentioning Hersh, Scahill, Ellsberg, Amy Goodman, and others, if you want to go look at examples, although those are also examples of how to maintain access to intelligence sources tit for tat)

Sorry for yapping I’m walking around

Yes expect to get nothing for your efforts basically. Follow instructions and get punished for it.

Do NOT act like Al Jazeera then
