    It’s funny how all these “good honest people” always hate the truth.

    Is this the same group that does the presidential breakfast thing every year or a different group?

    Damn, looks like I had too many tabs open and posted this comment to a completely unrelated thread about a completely different topic.

    Seems the original post I was looking at was removed - it was about the NYT posting proven wrong information about Israel/Gaza.

    No wonder everyone thinks I’m insane, and I thought nobody watched the video.

    I’ll keep my comment up, but if anyone cares to find the video about the NYT using essentially fake journalists to push unverified stories, and IDF hunting for propaganda my comment will make more sense.

    Anyhow, here is my comment that makes absolutely no sense in this thread, enjoy my idiocy

    ------*

    This is absolutely not the time, and definitely inappropriate. Buuuuuuut I guess the Jews really do control the media! /s

    Seriously though, everyone should always take every piece of information they consume with a massive grain of salt, especially if it’s emotionally charged.

    Media has proven time and again that they have no accountability, and will say whatever they are paid to say, or what they personally want people to think - and NOT the whole truth. Just enough information to form an emotional opinion and the illusion of complete subject knowledge.

    Everyone needs to slow down, and use fact based research to form opinions. If you get information from the media, it’s 100% been washed and editorialized to encourage you to form a specific opinion.

    Also, anyone who thinks “their side” would never lie, cheat, steal, kill, and lie again isn’t worth listening to.

    For what it’s worth, I don’t have anything against either religion - but war mongering religious people can lick my ass

    Edit Yeah, I figured this would get downvoted since people either didn’t watch the video, or use any effort to detect the obvious tongue in cheek joke.

    The entire video describes how Israel is getting favored media sway and getting stories that are literally made up published by “serious” media like the NYT.

    The video goes on to provide evidence of this hunt for propaganda by the IDF, and how its rabidly disseminated by western media with 0 credibility, fact checking etc in order to get people on the IDF side and justify the bombs and war crimes.

    Since y’all don’t watch videos or have reading comprehension, the “Jews control the media” line was mocking classic antisemitism - but with actual evidence of literal media control by the IDF.

    Watch the video and form your own opinions, or don’t, because I don’t actually care.

          I was just so confused by your point and was going to tear in a little and saw this. Good luck lol, seems like a well thought out response…to something else. You’ll pick back up those imaginary points in no time

        FML, my comment was about another video from another instance.

        Sorry for coming off entirely insane, if you ever find the video I’m talking about (NYT using fake journalists to push proven wrong information and not backing down when proven wrong) this might make more sense!

        Anyhow, mad bad.

      It happens, I have also accidentally responded to the wrong thread and had people act like I was the worst person on the planet as a result.
