Genuinely thought I had seen it all in a post Oct-7 world but Murdoch's empire had still been saving the best for this. Truly vile, I cycle between deep despair and rage.

I've never been more convinced Australia has the worst mainstream journalists in the world. Simple, thick, racist, ahistorical, bootlicking dipshits that lie and screech more than they think and feel. This weaponisation of a tragedy against anti-genocide voices is grotesque.

Being able to identify hoaxes, avoid scams & debunk propaganda is a civic skill required in today's information society. That's why curriculum for students in Finland includes media literacy lessons, aimed at safeguarding a precious resource: the truth. youtu.be/UZV9uw4usEE?...

The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate documented 57 violations by Israeli forces against journalists in the West Bank and Gaza in November — including detentions, assaults, threats at gunpoint, destruction of equipment, and blocking coverage. A systematic escalation on press freedom.
