    Funny BC I see a lot of news about biden, isreal, and Palestine.

    So there’s wall to wall anti-Israel coverage of the genocide from the mainstream media? There’s no media support for Biden and Israel, and all the outlets are reporting the atrocities accurately and with the appropriate language? So basically there’s no pro-genocide media anywhere to be seen in the west, is that your claim?

      You know news is global now in days. We have the internet. Yes, there is coverage of what isreal is doing and how the US is supporting the genocide in the Gaza. Also how other countries are also supporting isreal.

      Now does the US have a media monopoly problem that is supported by certain groups? Absolutely. Your point is both do it but one gets a pass which is not true.

        There’s only like 3 major news outlet that are covering the conflict without just taking the IDF at their word: Al Jazeera, Middle East Eye, and sometimes Reuters. Al Jazeera has been the best but Israel has banned them from reporting in Israel. The US State Media has continued to report lies about the genocide like Hamas being the aggressor here, Oct 7th being unprovoked, etc. They fail to report on major events like Israel’s strikes on aid convoys, schools, and hospitals, yet when they do report on these conflicts they get their lines from the IDF who claim these civilian targets are Hamas, or that Hamas is using them as shields.

        Acting like the media has been fair or free with regards to this genocide is pretty unhinged, you have to admit that they’re 100% complicit and that it’s very difficult for people who aren’t already clued in to left Tik Tok or other sources of news from a left wing perspective to get an accurate view of what’s happening.
