The video on CNN https://youtu.be/6pm9H1p3iXA
- "...cringeworthy heckling..." man CNN has gone downhill. Not even trying to appear objective
  
  It's so infuriating, but when has CNN ever attempted to appear objective? They have been blatant controlled opposition for a while now. Their playbook is to platform misinformation and repackage far right talking points into words that are palatable to liberal and centrist viewers.
  
  Some people watch that and just take the cue and believe it. This is what brainwashing looks like.

Neat!

They're not wrong.

This is the second time today I've seen you link to the New York Post.
Are you going to start linking to NewsMax next?
- I'm starting to agree with that other guy on that other thread. You're kinda being lame lately dude.
  
  I have never not been lame. If you ever had any respect for me, you shouldn't. There has never been any reason to like me and no one should because I don't deserve to be liked.
  But that doesn't mean we should be giving page views to Rupert Murdoch "news" outlets.
  
  Did the new york post suddenly become a legitimate publication when I wasn't looking? Am I thinking of a different paper?
  Because the new york post I'm aware of is such a steaming pile of shit that presenting it as actual information is tantamount to doing the work of a hostile foreign government.
  I would be embarrassed I didn't spot that it was a link to them, but the formatting on this post/app/whatever makes it extremely hard to notice.
  Anyway, nothing about the comment you replied to could possibly be considered lame, so I don't know what the hell angle you're trying to get at here.
  
  "lately"
  Dude makes great contributions - got no hate against him for that - but he's a bit too sure of himself sometimes.
  He also always seems to have some beef with the OP for some reason or another. They're both like the only two names I easily recognize on Lemmy because of how active they are - ngl, I think that's actually kinda neat, how small these communities are or whatever.
- They probably don’t think about you at all.
  
  No one does except for people like you who are obsessed with me on Lemmy. What's your point?

That’s not a journalist, that’s an activist with press credentials.
A journalist reports, a journalist is not supposed to BE the news. And while critical questions should be asked, just shouting insults like that is not the way to go about things. If you want to do that, go stand in front of the building with a sign. Shit like this only makes the job harder for actual journalists who are there to do a job.
- Even if they were an activist, how were they wrong? How was Anthony Blinken and the Biden administration right?
- The news is that Biden dropped the ball (to put it lightly lol) on gaza, and these fucks need to answer for their crimes.
  The US should view Netanyahu's death like they viewed Hitler's, as a military victory, and actively seek to make it happen.
  
  The US should view Netanyahu's death...
  Dammit, for a moment I read that as saying he HAD died. I'll continue to hope.
