I was told five months ago by a user here when debunking the NYT's fake rape article that "I should learn a thing a thing or two about media literacy". Because "the New York Times is highly reputable! Unlike those fake news outlets like Mondoweiss and TheGrayzone!"
That did not age well.
I didn't even think about the recent rape stories, my mind went straight for the Iraq war.
The rape stories were absolutely massive in manufacturing consent for israels Genocide. Israel denied a UN forensic investigation into their fake rape accusations. We now know that those were works of fiction, mostly from ZAKA which made up the 40 beheaded babies. But then right when support for israels Genocide hit a low, Jeffrey Gettleman teamed up with two israeli ex IDF soldiers to write a massive propaganda piece.
Almost every other major Western owned supposedly credible propaganda outlet copy pasted it despite glaring problems being pointed out shortly after its release. Reuters The Guardian, Wapo, You name it and they were manufacturing consent for Genocide. There was no evidence anywhere, but it didn't matter. Israel got enough public support to start massacring Palestinians again.
This article from The Intercept contained a sentence that summarized it very well: Netanyahu’s War on Truth - Israel’s Ruthless Propaganda Campaign to Dehumanize Palestinians
Reminded me of the dead babies in incubators. What a classic, it's true that we are in the era of remakes!
Dead babies in incubators you say? That's the IDF special
Don't forget about burning babies, another Zionist special!

And putting babies in ovens, something that the Zionists keep accusing Palestinians of doing over and over and over again! (You might have heard this claim now but they have been saying the same thing for decades - repeat a lie often enough and it becomes truth).
And just when you think you've seen the worst of it...
I couldn't find the baby in the oven one, but it's out there somewhere if you want even worse. It did happen during Zionist raids on Palestinian villages.
This one I believe
Same here, lol. It's been a long time since the NYT was a reliable news source, especially with regards to anything involving the Middle East.
See this is why I actually hate that people are pushing that bullshit ground news site so hard.
People will become reliant on what it tells them about a publication which does not mean an accurate representation. But then they can parade around bragging they know what the true middle is and are so enlightened.
Plus they take a subscription fee however they have no journalists and don't pay back to the publications they scrape from, but instead let you follow a link to their site at least to get some revenue.
The run a news link aggregator with a "bias" catcher on it that's pre-determined by tags for an algorithm to parse. It's just for libertarians to feel like they are winning against the news I swear.
