    This conflict has really woken me up on the bias that our media presents as “factual”. WSJ, NYT, The Guardian, CNN, BBC, all of them loaded to the brim with pro israeli language and one-sided reporting.

    Even repeating straight up lies and just using the IDF as quotes to deflect any blame. Fact checking is no longer necessary, you can just verbatim quote the worlds biggest terrorist organisation. When their stories get debunked as lies there’s no followup correction or apology either.

      This is one reason I like to keep Al Jazeera around. It’s helpful to see what slant they take sometimes.
