CottonSeed,

hmm… do you have any proof of this?

mastodon.social/…/112058113572030165

CottonSeed,

so you don’t have proof

CottonSeed,

i told the admins exactly why i wanted a slrpnk.net account. i’m using it exactly as i explained i would.

CottonSeed,

I’m not harassing or block evading. i don’t know how to clarify any further, honestly.

so far, I have only encountered one other user on this instance, and in two threads.

I browse by new comments, so I primarily encounter people with similar interests who have overlapping hours of use. I think it’s to be expected that would necessarily entail that I would encounter a limited number of users.

CottonSeed,

this is more conspiracy theories.

CottonSeed,

accusing people who post accurate information to Lemmy of being state actors is, yes, a conspiracy theory

CottonSeed,

they don’t need to believe it is the only place to get accurate information to post accurate information from there

CottonSeed,

when we have a small amount of accounts of people who are not who they claim to be,

you said yourself you can’t prove this. it’s a conspiracy theory.

CottonSeed,

could just be some lone nutcase who just really agrees with Qatar’s geopolitical goals.

sure. could also be a leftist.

CottonSeed,

I assume the facts are right in most media. it’s the framing you gotta watch out for.

CottonSeed,

that’s conjecture, not proof

CottonSeed,

leftists link corporate media of all kind. it doesn’t impugn their politics.

CottonSeed, (edited )

fact checking is too easy and ubiquitous to think you can just lie about the facts, so innuendo and framing are the really pernicious aspects of modern propaganda thats framed as news. so, no, I don’t think it’s necessary to wait.

CottonSeed,

Most corporate media aren’t the sister organizations of Hamas.

but they take money from people just as shitty, like bayer and lockheed and the pentagon. there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

CottonSeed,

Wow. Just sit in that for a little bit.

this is an appeal to ridicule. it’s not a rebuttal.

CottonSeed,

what have they published that has been proven to be false?

CottonSeed,

your characterization doesn’t determine the veracity of anyone’s politics.

CottonSeed,

What specific US based leftist media are you accusing

none, but there is plenty of us corporate and state sponsored propaganda posted in these communities and i don’t see accusations of shilling for the pentagon and cia being thrown around like the accusations of shilling for putin/trump

CottonSeed,

From my perspective it seems like you are excusing authoritarian behavior under the guise that leftists do it for others and thus are obligated to do so for Hamas.

i never suggested any obligation. i’m saying that it’s unreasonable to disqualify factual reporting on the basis that you don’t like the people that funded it. object to the framing, or even to the actors themselves, but the reporting of facts is done by all kinds of actors, and it’s up to readers to understand biases in even factual reporting and come to their own conclusions.

CottonSeed,

how hard is this?

new york times

washington post

given how ubiquitos links to these war-hawking publications are, your objection to al jazeera can’t be motivated by the fact that tehy are f unded by bad people. it must be something else.
