This morning I could hardly find a headline to confirm Israel invaded Lebanon. Everything was about how scary Iran is.
What the fucking fuckery fuck media? How is Iran's response to Israel's invasion more important than Israel invading? I shouldn't have to dig for 20 minutes to confirm something like that.
I saw plenty of headlines about the invasion of Lebanon. It just happened first, so the newer headlines would be about the thing that just happened
These things happened hours apart. And many of the stubs behind the Iran headlines made no mention of why they would fire missiles at Israel. After today I won't be surprised when we start getting people in here who think Iran fired for no reason and Israel hasn't invaded Lebanon. It was an absolute failure of news media.
I'm not defending the media by any stretch, just that both events got some coverage.
Yeah I'm just mad because they know the timing matters. They know the words they use matter. We've heard them talk about this exact kind of failing in the Iraq war and covering Trump. And now we're right back there again, breathlessly repeating the administration and their ally. Calling it a "limited ground operation". They know that first impression matters and there's a whole group of people who now think Israel got rocketed for terrorist hunting.
No invasion from any media I saw.
Just an incursion
Read better media. And it's not like the BBC is particularly progressive on this.
Sounds like something an antisemite would say! Why do you hate jews instead of the barbarian brown people, antisemite?
/s
to be clear, the iran government is basically oil backed terrorism and human rights abuses. Yeah fuck iran.
I wouldn't trust a single thing iran says.
Quite different compared to staunch US ally Saudi Arabia.
have i said that i would trust a single thing that saudia arabia says? Ever?
