You know, those dirty dark-skinned people might have sexually corrupted those ethnically pure wome. It's one of the strongest primal tropes for propaganda use.

Since when does Hamas give a shit about public perception???? Rape and murder are fine but they draw the line when Kentucky Karen clutches pearls?

OP is radically pro-Israel. They did everything they could to avoid admitting that it was bad to bomb refugees, especially after telling them to go and then bombing them when they go there. They just kept talking about bad things Hamas did as if that justified bombing refugees. All I can think is they don't consider Palestinians to be human.

A report on a statement is not speculation. The statement could be, but not the report.

[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Maybe, but that's not how the article is framed.

Personally, I don't think someone spouting off should be repeated. Good journalism would be investigating and verifying the claim.

[–] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com -2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He's a government spokesman. Good journalism is to quote him directly, which they did. Quotation marks and everything.

[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Good journalism would be not quoting and repeating unsubstantiated claims at all.

Unless you're going to write an article saying "spokesman makes wild and unsubstantiated claims at press conference".

[–] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com -3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So good journalism is actually editorials. It's what you think, not what someone says.

[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

There's a term for repeating merely what someone says: hearsay. In no way should that be considered news or journalism.

[–] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com -1 points 11 months ago

That's pretty funny

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

That is what people are kidnapped do.

Media bias / fact check for The Messenger:

Overall, we rate The Messenger Right-Center biased based on story selection and editorial perspectives that moderately favor the right. We also rate them as Mostly Factual in reporting rather than High due to the use of poor sources, sensationalized content, and one-sided reporting.
