Pretty rare to see an honest reveal on how much of a propaganda mouthpiece one of these big Western news agencies is.

Now if only people will remember this and not come down with Gell-Mann Amnesia the next time the free press is pushing people to hate a group or take sides in a conflict.

The thing about this is, it's not like CNN's coverage of this is different than that of the other Western media outlets, so presumably the same things are happening in every one of their newsrooms. They all did things like dehumanize the Palestinians by referring to their deaths in the passive voice.
