You consider the Associated Press a biased source?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

News flash: they’re all biased, written by biased humans, edited by biased humans, etc etc.

Meme out of the way:

Overall, we rate the Associated Press as left-centered biased due to left-leaning editorializing of news stories and frequently conducting fact checks on conservatives. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a reasonable fact-check record.

Detailed Report

Bias Rating: LEFT-CENTER Factual Reporting: HIGH Country: USA MBFC’s Country Freedom Rank: MOSTLY FREE Media Type: News Agency Traffic/Popularity: High Traffic MBFC Credibility Rating: HIGH CREDIBILITY

A hundred times yes. AP is inseparable from US imperialism. It projects the Pentagon's version of reality to a global audience. Through sheer volume it floods the airwaves to the detriment of other countries' own news agencies, sets the agenda, and is integral to US hegemony, as soft power.

Your first link is to a summary of a book and your second doesn’t mention the associated press

I don’t know what to tell you. To not be familiar with Chomsky’s or Parenti’s work is to lack basic media literacy, which, to be fair, is most people.

If you don’t want to read a book, you might start with the video documentary: Manufacturing Consent Noam Chomsky and the Media (Documentary) 1080p

You might be on of the most pretentious, condescending and demeaning people I have ever seen.

Thank you for the link, I don’t want to talk to you anymore.

Have the day you deserve

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

The military did not provide evidence backing that claim.

Using military force in an area you occupy is illegal. Why didn't Israel do police work?

Oh, thanks for the link.

Reading that this is something Yamas does regularly sounds like it would be terrifying to Palestinians.
