    'March to Gaza' Group detained, beaten, and deported

    I just want to give a little more perspective on this kind of mental imagery that a lot of people seem to have. That victims of aggression are always morally upright, peaceful and loving. What befell upon them are always "out of the blue" perpetrated solely by evil people. History has proven...

    'March to Gaza' Group detained, beaten, and deported

    It's an interesting read. Yet the conflict today has very little to do with genome and has more to do with culture and history. Base on geographical history not all middle eastern people have good relations with each other. Even when they share many common threads. It is the nuances that usually...

    'March to Gaza' Group detained, beaten, and deported

    Western activists are unfortunately lacking in cognitive ability. All passion no brain. There are reasons why surrounding Arab countries do not open their borders despite the (western) perceived comradery voiced by them. One can argue they don't want to allow Israel to empty Gaza by pushing out...

    Israel Strikes Iran: Explosions in Tehran, Sirens in Israel

    I don't disagree with you on an overall perspective on Israel relations with their neighbours. That said, Israel as of late has been on a disproportionate response to limited attacks. Yes the attacks on them are very visceral, disgusting and revolting on the human level. Even as I recall them it...

    Israel Strikes Iran: Explosions in Tehran, Sirens in Israel

    Things are indeed getting spicy. However undeterred Iran is on their nuclear ambitions, pre-emptively striking them is something I don't agree on. Should Iran declare full on war they will be justified in doing so. Israel handed them the casus belie. No sovereign nation should have their borders...

    BREAKING: 'Targeted Terror Attack' Hits Boulder, Colorado, During Pro-Israel Gathering

    I always love the "he is not my president" just to get a jab in. So I guess all the bad things caused by Biden during his term you should be responsible for. Due to his lack in enforcement, the girls that got violated and killed by illegals will be on your hands since you voted for him. Also the...

    Deutsche Welle (DW) - A Bias Media

    Journalistic independence means no influence from any third party (especially parties with authoritative powers). That in itself doesn't guarantee the journalists themselves are independent from political bias which could align with the ruling administration. At least that's how I view it seeing...

    Deutsche Welle (DW) - A Bias Media

    I agree to a certain point. Modern news media has become somewhat of a tool to reinforce echo chambers. And great many people would find it more comforting to hear and watch things that aligned to their respective world views. A sad reality but a reality none the less. That being said there are...

    Deutsche Welle (DW) - A Bias Media

    So the German equivalent of China's CTGN and Russia's RT albeit not as obvious. Thus far Reuters and AP have not greatly run afoul of my intuition. Not to say they haven't had their bias moments however they made it up with reporting on the other side of the story. Overall still my go to for news.

    Deutsche Welle (DW) - A Bias Media

    That is something Americans must decide for themselves. As someone who is not American I can only opine that your point has saliency since western EU is pretty much ideologically opposed to the current American administration. Hard to work with people who don't hide the fact they hate you at a...

    Deutsche Welle (DW) - A Bias Media

    Many media rating sites put DW news as center to center-left in their bias meter. That can't be further from the truth of the actual situation. DW is hard left while not to the extreme left - YET. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/dw-news/...

    Australian Broadcasting Corp Boss Decries Backlash After Defaming Joe Rogan

    Your definition of preying is unsustainable. Like I said earlier Rogan is an entertainer. He view are not always right. It was his opinions and the guest he interviews. He was not preying on anyone. You're free to listen or not (which I didn't). You just want to stretch that definition to suit...

    Australian Broadcasting Corp Boss Decries Backlash After Defaming Joe Rogan

    Mild really? A professional news media uses such language against a person who is neither a journalist or a politician. Joe Rogan is for all intend and purpose an entertainer. His views are his alone, he is not here to brainwash people into his talking points. People watch him for his honest...

    Australian Broadcasting Corp Boss Decries Backlash After Defaming Joe Rogan

    Backlash is not from hero worship I in fact don't watch Joe Rogan at all. It is solely from the manner ABC chief spoke. To tarnish a person with malicious words is not something a NEWS media person should be doing. And what do you mean by fairly. Please read exactly what he said. Also have you...
