>Right wing propaganda is so strong and coordinated these days that they can develop a new goal and drive a single message repeatedly across multiple platforms for months or years.
If that is the case, why is it that we see mostly left wing propaganda on social media and most news sites?

It's hard for major newspapers to publish critical articles on israel because of the israeli influence in news media. Not to mention the amount of jewish owners, investors, editors and journalists.
Do you expect a Josh Rogin to write a critical article on israel? Do you really expect washington post to publish negative articles on israel?
The editor of washingtonpost is martin baron, a child of israeli immigrants to the US.
The guy who wrote the op-ed and the editor both have ties to israel. What are the chances of a negative article regarding israel?

> I've done 4+ hours of commuting per day before, in the Toronto region. I nearly went crazy. I'd leave at 6:45am and get home after 7pm absolutely exhausted.
How did you manage that? I have 1.5 hour commute and I leave at before you do and arrive after you.
But I agree with you. It is just exhausting and you are left wondering where the time goes.

Unethical human experimentation was pioneered by the US. We've been experimenting on natives, blacks, minorities a long before the nazis. And we even tested nuclear fallout on pacific islanders long after ww2. I believe the "father" of unethical japanese human experimentation was trained in the US before ww2.
Not sure why canadians got involved in this mess though.

Is this news worthy? This is also the case in NYC and probably every city around the world. Kids take the subway, bus, etc all by themselves to go to school, malls, theaters, friends' homes, etc. My siblings and I did. All my friends did.
