Dear fellow Global South users, how does your mainstream media cover Israel's genocides? (lemmygrad.ml)

Here in India, media is a tool of the fascists. I am ashamed to say it but the concept of journalistic standards is alien to the audience here. The media literally parrots the IOF line, to such a degree of precision that makes me think that I underestimated the sheer evil that can exist in the heart of human beings.

But India is a kind of a special case in the Global South, since its an Islamophobic Hindu fascist state and the preposterous IOF talking points slot well with the racist talking points.

But I am wondering what the situation is like everywhere else. Please fill me in.

@ksynwa Zionist lobby is strong here in Brazil to the point of influencing the government. Mainstream media basically buys the Zionist propaganda with very rare exceptions.

Seconding this. There’s no real pushback on the Zionist propaganda on mainstream media here. But on the other hand it’s not hard to find organizations and political parties that do push back
