Don’t be intellectually lazy, don’t be emotionally lazy, don’t see just part of this terrible reality.

this is very insightful @jburnmurdoch , thankyou. i have found the last 20 hrs distressing (1) because the "slip up" here is already triggering real world consequences, and (2) some of the protagonists have form (notably @BBCWorld), suggesting bias
Some quick thoughts on why large parts of the mainstream media keep slipping up on Gaza/Israel (and why it was the same at times with Covid):
The main reason is a failure to keep pace with modern news gathering techniques, but there’s more.

if true (not just that the source was a Jihad rocket, but the limited death toll, and so forth), then @BBCWorld @nytimes and all the political leaders who piled in last night are complicit in one of the great propaganda coups of the digital age. Serious soul searching please
Daylight. The Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza still stands. Local footage shows all buildings intact. There are no rescue workers pulling bodies from rubble. There are no bodies. There is no rubble.
A tragedy happened. Innocents died. But it wasn't as reported yesterday.

following the events in Russia, that might just be 1917 streamed on web. chapeau to @TimothyDSnyder who called it back in Oct. it's wonderful when 'experts' spot the outline of something by glimpsing into the future, while the media/rest of us are remain in the land of the blind
"For all of the actors concerned, it might be bad to lose in Ukraine, but it is worse to lose in Russia." From my S-bst-ck piece of 5 October. Keeping in mind that details are out of date, might be a useful read now.

These sorts of stories are spine chilling. It is too late to undo the unjust state sponsored destruction of a life theguardian.com/law/2023/jan…

Today we announced a $260M raise for Convoy! I was asked, is this because of the truck driver shortage? This is a common question. My answer is no, I do not believe we have a shortage of truck drivers. We're short in other areas. Here goes... 1/
