And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise....
Today in Germany, the day Germany is ok the ICJ being accused of genocide participation, all the German press could show was the Israeli protest to release their hostages
Hehe. To be true, I gave up on the idea that media are telling the truth: Either they won’t tell because they don’t want, or they themselves don’t know better, or because they are not aware of their bias, or whatever reason.
I see media now as lawyers.
As in a court hearing, each presents the case of his clients (ther countries, their CEOs, their ideologies, whatever).
The mission of the judge is to put the opposing lawyers in contradiction, and each lawyer has the right to contradict everything the other side says: contradict the witnesses, the framing, the questions, everything.
Only then can the judge have a base to decide their mind.
We, news consumers, ar the judges in this analogy: We have to read contradicting media (and I mean not CNN vs FOX, but Western vs non western), to have a minimal chance of expanding the picture and filter what makes sense or not, and see what each lawyer is hiding about his client.
Only then we have a minimal chance of taking a well informed decision.
I remember Israeli government saying they found name of terrorists in a paper under a hospital, and when it got translated it was just the days of the week.
Israeli propaganda can be detected even by a 10 year old.
I have my suspections about Al Jazeera (for instance, they never point any mistake of Hamas, and other stuff they talk about some countries I know), but what they say matches well with stuff I know from people who live in Arabic countries.
Al Jazeera is a good source to get out of Israeli/Western press strong bias, which even pretends that history starts on 7th of October and hides the fact that Israel:
a) Killed 450 people in West Bank until October 6th
b) is committing the highest rate land robbery in West Bank since 1993.
I also read Times of Israel and Haaretz to get a broader picture
