he coverage from several leading news organizations of Sunday’s escalation exemplified how omitting a single crucial detail can distort the entire narrative.
The New York Times ran an early headline stating: “Israel strikes Hezbollah in Lebanon, which fires rockets at Israel.” The missing word? Preemptively. Israel preemptively struck launching sites being prepared for an imminent attack just hours later.
The headline’s implication was undoubtedly deliberate—NYT presented a skewed image of an aggressive Israel, seemingly provoking a broader regional conflict by needlessly attacking Hezbollah.
This narrative was echoed by the Los Angeles Times and CBS News, with the former downplaying Hezbollah’s drone and rocket strikes, while the latter went as far as to suggest Israel might have both ignited a wider conflict and hindered ceasefire negotiations.
In one of the more hyperbolic and misleading headlines, the Daily Mail claimed the Middle East conflict had “explod[ed]” as Israel bombed Lebanon and Hezbollah fired “150 rockets towards the Iron Dome.”
One doesn’t need to be a munitions expert to know that Hezbollah doesn’t aim at the very missile interceptors designed to neutralize its rockets.

basically um. we all know how the federation basically strips their workers off their humanity, we've seen how strict they are with emotions. what if this also includes how they looked? as in, how they were human once but then either 1. the federation took them in as a worker and made them look, well.. how they all look now or 2. they started working for the federation and the fed made them look how they are now.

It's so fucking fucked up that like, for the fifth and final season, most of the main cast of Bob Hearts Abishola is recurring.
They have 13 members of the main cast. 9 of which are Black folks, including the CO-CREATOR of the show!!! (Gina Yashere) Only two of the 13 have not been dropped down recurring and that's the two leads (one white male lead, one Black female lead).
So sus of CBS.
