it’s been wild watching my local news station invent reality the last few years. First with running non-stop pro-Ukraine coverage and now doing the same with pro-Israel coverage, with absolutely zero pushback against any of the claims no matter how ridiculous they are. I watched coverage of the recent released hostages and they kept talking about how horrible the hostages were treated despite all the video and statements from the hostages saying they were treated well. Also they now just refer to any and all Palestinian resistance fighters as “terrorists.” At this point it feels like I’m living in a parody.

You know what’s really fucked up? The Pro-Israel coverage has been so omnipresent and over the top that I’ve started to think the pro-Ukraine stuff couldn’t have been as bad.

That’s no accident. I’m convinced that the pro-israel media blitz is partly to deflect attention from the ongoing US defeat in Ukraine.

Local news is owned by conglomerates and is told what to say from the top down. when it comes to stuff like this.
