The point I’m trying to make is that you attribute to ignorance what is actually indifference at best and willful malice at worse. You literally can’t convince people who think that saving Israel will lead to their eternal salvation is not worth any price.

Do you remember in 2020 when the right was criticizing Fox News of being too liberal because they both called the election fairly and for the most part didn’t carry the MAGA line that the election was stolen?

I don't disagree, however for the AP to refuse calling a spade a spade to me makes it clear than when it comes euphemizing genocide, we're not really any better than China.

But that said, while you're right, it is a loop and the media can't be fully deresponsibilized when they become a victim of the narrative they helped shape.

> we're not really any better than China

No but you see, in America, the totalitarian despots are in the private sector. That means it's okay.

Seriously though it's remarkable how much good PR America gets because we just renamed "bribes" to "lobbying." It's the fucking same thing: exchanging money for the favor of the politically connected.
