Is it the journalists or the editors? It would be good to hear some insider stories from the Guardian, as the criticism coming from some of the BBC's journalists has shown that even when journalists follow the principle of accuracy, the editorial teams shove their pieces back into a "balanced" framing (one that gives Israeli representations more credence than they factually deserve)

The British media is bought and paid for. Gaslighting the public on a huge scale.

I spit on the Guardian.

This is shocking 😮 news. We are in the Age of Dishonesty and Hypocrisy. Is this truly no honest man and i use man in the collective sense.

It clearly runs deep through the Guardian. On Sunday Stuart Heritage said in his review of a programme about Settlers: 'Most notably, the peripheral glimpses of Israeli activists who protest against the settlements probably need more airtime, if only to demonstrate that this is a problem of individuals rather than an entire nation.' How did that past the editor?

I get what he means, but all the numbers and assessment I've seen - and made, suggest clearly that the problem IS the nation; those protestors are the inevitable exceptions, bless their brave hearts and souls.

A genocidal, settler colony, built by popular design and intent, on convenient, untrue, racist, embattled narratives is, by definition, action and mass participation, evil.

All I can do is maintain my own, reliable definition of antisemitism, to avoid Israeli hatefulness infecting my world and mind.

Not surprising at all! I still remember when Russia was accused of war crimes in Ukraine, how the MSM were reminding the world like almost every single day of the atrocities! Even the old deranged Biden was calling Putin a war criminal. But now a shameful silence, even though the evidence is there for all to see! Because according to the MSM, some lives matter more than others specifically if those other lives are of the Palestinians or any other official enemies of the Establishment. SIMPLY DESPICABLE!

Interesting piece but no surprise

At some point a few on the left will come around to agreeing with what the far right have been saying about this “international cosmopolitan clique” for years. In particular their control of finance, government (and policy on inward migration), and in this case the media. But the main difference is there would be no leftist outcry if there was a 2 state solution where both lived in peace and harmony. The far right in the West would continue however hold the aforementioned views due to this cabals negative influence on all aspects of a nations sovereignty and culture.

I used to freelance for the Guardian which ended when Trump 1 doubled down on Obama's pivot to China, Biden continued the line and the Guardian followed. Appalling Covid propaganda in the Guardian prioritised China demonisation & scapegoating, preventing eradication of the virus in the UK, resulting in highest death toll after the US. No right of reply, no balance. The China affairs reporter got kicked upstairs to the Washington Post, the "Pentagon's newsletter".

I trace it back to the security agencies compelling the Guardian to smash up its own computers after the Assange meltdown, and a new editor importing disgusting Murdoch standards from Australia where she learnt her "trade". Every day there's some crap about peach-flavoured vaginas, penises & other "edgy" markers of a degenerating culture. Probably because it's run by a bunch of c**ts.

If the Guardian is untrustworthy on the news - what is for then?

Shaping the preferred narratives of its donors and not pissing off advertisers?

Oh and fluff pieces about lifestyle.

The Media is not getting it wrong! They are systematically purposeful and complicit in their parrot regurgitations, obfuscations, historical revisions, lies, propaganda and journalistic malpractice. It is why the world has been brainwashed and indoctrinated into supporting the demonic charade that Zionist "Israel" is. They created it, and they must be held accountable!

It's wild how some outlets keep missing the mark on such a serious topic. We gotta demand better coverage that tells the whole story.

Stick to independent media organisations, there are plenty of them reporting the truth!

James's avatar

It's deliberate that they miss the point.

The Zionist state has been murdering innocent people for over 70 years, with the approval of settler and former colonial states - they just got more determined than ever with the support of governments and massmedia.

Andrew Robert Richards's avatar

Because they are staffed, owned and managed by a treacherous, Zionist fifth column.

I’m under the impression that the UKs entire media is owned by Jews and Zionists. We can therefore only get the truth from independent Journalists who are liable to be arrested under the terrorism act. According to the majority of Jews in Israel and elsewhere, plus their Zionist ass licking fans, anyone who doesn’t support Israel’s right to self defense, which means killing everyone they can of any age, is a terrorist supporter.

The centuries-long history of western colonislisn shows that ALL colonial resistance is labelled "terrorism" by western media. Every single one.

Whether it was the resistance by indigenous peoples of North America, or the Mau Mau in Kenya, the Algerian people, the resistance in Mozambique, Mandela, Sisulo, Beko and the ANC in South Africa: slways labelled as terrororist.

What the west has never done...is is to label as terrorists those western people and their armies that go and try to steal other people's land and genocide the inhabitants.

How the fuck does the so-called Freedom loving Western World allow Israel to commit Genocide, in full view, indeed, a genocide the perpetrators proudly document themselves via Social Media? I am soo furious about this. And, naturally, if you point out that the main reason is that the Western Press is owned and controlled by Zionists, let alone the confessed Zionist prostitutes who masquerade as Presidents and Prime Ministers, then you are dubbed an Anti-Semite, despite the simple fact that the European Jews who run Israel have less Semitic DNA than a bowl of mashed potatoes.
