The Associated Press wants an “independent” investigation into whether it was sharing office space with Hamas, an internationally designated terrorist group. The press has found a way to turn the Israeli situation into a story about the press.
What is left out of the story is that the Associated Press has a history of giving Hamas a pass while working with Hamas to tell the story in Gaza. The Atlantic has reported how the AP refuses to cover events at Hamas’s request. In a lengthy report from the AP on Hamas’s office getting bombed — the one in which the AP worked — the news organization fails to even mention Hamas.
A CNN producer is cheering on Germany in sports because Hitler killed the Jews. NBC News is running stories about Gaza from Gaza health officials without noting Hamas, the terrorist group, runs the health department and might, just might, not be telling the truth.
The Washington Post is taking op-eds that suggest if more Israelis die, Israel might seek peace, but the Iron Dome is, unfortunately, keeping too many Jews alive.
Meanwhile, a former Obama Administration official also confirms Hamas actually operated out of the building in which the AP worked.
Twitter allows an Iranian propaganda outfit on to show Hamas officials trapped underground while claiming it is people trapped in their houses that Israel blew up.
While all of this is happening, the head of the CDC would like you to know the science has changed in just two weeks to let them know the vaccines actually work enough for people to not wear masks. Remember, just two weeks ago, the same head of the CDC was saying kids on a soccer field need to wear masks. But also, the CDC wants you to know people don’t need to be in a rush to take off their masks.
Rep. Lee Zeldin, who wanted to overturn the Electoral College for a stolen election, is now running for Governor in New York claiming the election was legitimate.
How can anyone trust anything anymore? The media spins, lies, distorts, and propagandizes. The government’s public health experts flip on a dime due to political pressure even while denying it. The politicians lie to their base and flip on a dime.
All our institutions are failing us. Those in charge will not be honest. The media picks sides. Is it any wonder the conspiracists are running rampant and people are turning to their confirmation biases for reassurance and news?
The failures are greater than the successes. The lies outnumber the truth. This is not healthy for our society and it will end badly for all of us. The truth is being set aside for agendas and the press, which should be committed to the truth, is more committed to preferred narratives.
Thanks Ms Lane! Sometimes you need to know someone is there to shake you up.
NBC blindly accepts health statistics from Hamas. Yet, it questions Ron DeSantis and the Florida Dept of Public Health on their Covid 19 stats? I can't say I'm not surprised. But I am disgusted.
