I’m trying compile (for instructional use) a set of very vivid/egregious/horrifying examples of consent manufacturing in the Western media. Stuff like this:
Got any good examples like this? Post 'em!

There’s this classic from hurricane Katrina:
And this pairs well with just about any Russiagate headline:
Excellent, thanks!
I don’t know if these are exactly what you mean but I hoard images I think might be good for reposting later
Yeah, this is great stuff. Thanks!
can you give me context? I’d like to understand this image.
I think that it’s from a bot that tracks title changes to New York Times article titles (or perhaps it’s the content, not the title? my memory is bad). So original was:
The police entered the compound and fired rubber-tipped bullets. Anger was already building in response to the looming expulsion of several Palestinian families from their homes in the city.
And then they edited it to:
Gaza militants fired rockets toward Jerusalem and the Israeli police fought with Palestinian protesters in an escalation of violence after a week of increasing changes.
You can see how much that changes what is actually being said.
thanks! wasnt familiar with that.
Most people in the US have never even heard of this.

I’m fairly sure adam johnson posted a pithy image about how gazans are killed while israelis are murdered
another one I’ve seen is the before 2022/after 2022 coverage of ukrainian nazis. there was an amalgam of 12-20 headlines from before 2022 talking about ukrainian far right nationalists (nazis) vs post 2022 coverage
if you want to be super current, you could probably find headlines from before this week talking about HTS stoning people and generally being awful, contrast it with the fawning interviews jolani has gotten this week where he’s portrayed as woke al qaida
Why is it that every time I see Henry Kissingers name, it’s attached to the most evil shit I’ve ever heard?
I know the answer to this one!
Cause he’s an evil fuck
Just about everything related to preventative measures for COVID-19. The first instance that jumps to my mind is the isolation guidelines essentially being dictated by Delta, the airliner. That’s it. Only the whims of a corporation. Don’t have any screenshots or anything on me at the moment but there is a lot in here, though! (everyone should watch the video this is attached to, as well)
Did you know the California Supreme Court rules that it’s fine for your employer not to follow regulations related to COVID safety because to do otherwise would be catastrophic for business and while ruling otherwise was ‘legally and morally’ correct it would be a ‘floodgate’ case for widespread employer liability? They literally said this.
