Yup, sorry you're right - it was World News, not News.

I'm not necessarily fully agreeing with OP's thesis that MBFC is a pro-Zionist project, but something is very much amiss if UNWatch is considered to be a "highly credible" source.

I myself debunked a highly flawed and biased article from UNWatch that was posted to News@Lemmy.world* last month. The post was removed by the moderator (@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world) after being determined as disinformation. (I can't link to it, since it has been removed, but if you want to see the details of my critique, check out this screenshot of my comment)

Having seen that first hand, I would absolutely say that MBFC's credibility rating system is, at the very least, questionable.

His lawyers must know there is zero chance of Merchan recusing himself, or effecting any legal outcome by going after his daughter. This is pure political theater.

The idea that propaganda cannot be propaganda if it is delivered in a dry, objective tone is nonsensical.

The Israel/Palestine conflict is a great example of this - especially in the US. Anyone who has closely watched the mainstream news media cover the situation in Gaza, or the college protests that sprung up as a result, has witnessed consent for Israel's war being manufactured in front of their very eyes, along with the vilification of anyone who stands opposed to it. The fact that it is delivered by seemingly professional journalists in a somber, even tone has no bearing whatsoever on how accurately it describes reality.

I disagree -- I think there is definitely room for this more impassioned/personal style of reporting as long as the facts being reported are accurate, especially with this conflict in particular. After all, the headline is not misleading -- people literally attacked military bases in defense of the right of IDF soldiers to rape and torture Palestinian detainees with impunity. That happened.

If you prefer the more dispassionate, passive-voice-using, equivocating language about what is going on in Israel/Palestine right now, you have almost the entire rest of the Western news media to choose from.

No sick burn was intended.

Regardless of whether you think an emotive or a dispassionate tone is more appropriate for this particular story, the facts contained in both articles remain the same, do they not?

Perhaps you would prefer CBS News?

Many Republicans are apparently only just learning what 'biracial' means.

This assassination is an assurance that countless more Gazan citizens are going to die. It's not an either/or situation.

👨‍🚀🔫 Always has been.

Pretty much. Netanyahu never wanted a ceasefire to begin with. My guess is that any talk of a path to a two-state solution or a ceasefire has just been a stalling tactic used by the US to deal with any criticism of Israel's war crimes. I wonder how long the State Department can keep this charade going, quite honestly.

Of course. Who else would be providing the requisite military hardware?

The slavish display that we witnessed at Netanyahu's speech in Congress makes it clear that the US is going to back Israel no matter what.
