#Media bias

If you, for some reason, still have a subscription to the Atlantic, cancel it

NYT has a bias.

Look what they did in 2016 to Hillary.

NYT is racing to the bottom with conservative owners and push to platform bad faith opinions.

I know the media in this country is all propaganda

because the NY Times got caught red handed making up stories about hamas killing babies, and raping women

...stories that were shared around the world and used to legitimize and justify the genocide of Palestine...

and no other mainstream news agencies bothered to report what is possibly the biggest media scandal of the century.

It literally proves Israel's narrative is a lie.

But we don't have real news.

We drown in propaganda instead.

Elon will probably have the community note removed, like he usually does on any facts that don’t conform to his opinion

Another way all of these struggles are connected, is the way media decides to automatically exonerate the perpetrators.

It is clear as day, how corporate US media decides to be complicit in the normalization of violence by deciding how it wants to cover things. The bias is in the headlines, and these are just two specific examples.

There is no way that these companies should be getting away with this. There needs to be groups of people to hold a fire to them. If nothing is done, fascists will continue to openly define how events are perceived by the general public in media.

I think news sites are straight up trying to bury antisemitism stories. They have started avoiding using words like antisemitism and Jews almost full stop. At least the big papers. I google Jews or antisemitism often to look for news about how bad it’s getting but when I tried looking up the Anne frank play that was besieged by Neo Nazis the only way I found the articles was by specifically googling nazi flag. And it turns out there were like ten antisemitic rallies that threatened Jews in buildings and areas in the last few days ONLY covered by local media and none of them show up by googling Jews or antisemitism. SEO seems to be the reason. Maybe so Jews don’t show the articles around and people don’t connect the rise of far right and far left (let’s call a spade a spade, terrorist organizations both domestic and foreign) groups. Since people from the far left and far right are the people reading the articles the most and usually the ones writing. Idk. It feels disgusting to have my safety and existence be threatened and for these vultures gleefully making money on it.

The Guardian have been awful for ages, but they now just do propaganda/advertisement for companies they have a vested interest “strategic partnership” with.

You might be wondering where the disclosure of that is in the article. Me too.

But please do tell me again how the BBC is unbiased...

[sayruq]

This is the important part

We're going to see A LOT of pro Israel propaganda in the media in late June. More than usual I mean.

We need to be prepared to combat it all especially with the current invasion of Rafah killing and displacing thousands

When you’re fed on bias, you spew out bias

[pseudonaivete]

I am a journalist and a researcher. In my work, I analyze journalistic texts to spot bias.

While in spaces like Tumblr, it is a known that conservative media tends to distorts reality and uses rhetoric manipulation to form their audience opinions, I must heavily point out, that so does the left. And particularly so about transwomen matters.

This article about the UK Supreme Court’s ruling on what a woman is from The Nation, written by Sophie Lewis, is a shocking example of how little objectivity is found in her work and how deeply manipulative and inaccurate her claims are. Nearly every sentence is filled with fallacies.

In just 362 words of the text, I have found TWENTY-SEVEN attempts to manipulate the audience with claims that aren’t testifiable but emotion-driven. Journalism is in crisis, and many outlets produce pieces not to inform but to spread political activism.

I ask you, please, be critical. Transgenderism is an ideology, not a fact. Trust sources like AP, Reuters, and BBC, for they are the least biased.

And do not trust my word for it. I am just a junior scientist. Use this toolkit or search for your own (persuasive language, rhetoric devices, logical fallacies, tentative conclusions, etc.) to critically evaluate the media you consume.

The omission is on purpose.

Not one editor framed the story to include Trump bailing entirely on the 2020 transition. Not just the inauguration, the entire transition.

The purpose of their story is to paint Michelle Obama as ungrateful. The racism sucks.
