fuck the state of Israel, and anyone who attempts to normalise its atrocities, and suppress the gruesome reality of the situation in favor of state-backed narratives and polite fictions. that is the predictable end result of your policies, especially when pissrael has gone to great lengths to kill every last credentialed palestinian journalist it can get its hands on. its pretty difficult for murdered journalists to publish enough articles to compete with the combined state media apparatus of israel and the us billionaire class, but what can you do? your hands are tied, I guess. standards, right?

and anyway, this notion that establishment papers are still bastions of journalistic integrity is wishful thinking at best. how can we trust what comes out of the bought-and-paid-for subservient mouthpieces of the billionaires class? that whole model is fundamentally broken, in the same way the 2-party system is broken. its a rigged game, built to support those in power, not to challenge them. good journalism speaks truth to power. how much of that are we seeing from the mainstream rags?
