Heavily corporatized Western mainstream news-media have been, to put it mildly, editorially emasculated thus negligent. Though it may be due to orders from ownership headquarters and therefore beyond their control, our (Canada's) news-media are serious offenders.
The most notable example is The National Post. One would really have to read it to believe it, especially since the initial (10/7) Hamas attack against Israel. It epitomizes an extreme example of an echo chamber promoting unconditional support for the Israeli state, including its very-long-practiced cruelty towards the Palestinian people.
For example, a single-column story about a five-year-old American-Palestinian boy who was stabbed to death by the landlord of the residence in which he and his mother lived simply for being Palestinian was placed on page 5, while placed up high on the front page was a large photo (which accompanied a much larger story) with three Israeli teenage girls crying after their friends or family were kidnapped by Hamas gunmen.
Here’s an historical parallel on why Zionist lies prevail. Though Dominican priest Las Casas preached at the court of King Charles about the horrors perpetrated by the Spanish Conquerors against the indigenous people, most Catholic clerics dismissed his testimony as they didn’t want to know the details of how their foreman got them their gold and silver.
As ever there's always a barbarous historical precedent to light the way for our latterday 'medieval monsters' - and we told to believe that we live in the enlightened and civilised era
Could we change the question ever so slightly? Why, WHY is the media still getting the Gaza murder of paramedics so wrong? Let us put on our psychology hats and ask, why are these murders and others like them obscured by the media and by the politicians? WHY? And Who are these “humans” in the media who perpetrate such lies and obscure the evil being done?
It's becoming increasingly apparent that both nations, and basically all of "NATO" countries are wholly owned subsidiaries of the transatlantic zionist enterprise.
Thank you Jonathan, for giving such detailed coverage to this. You show us how cleverly and insidiously the choice of wording of, in this case The Guardian, shapes our perception and thus our thinking. News outlets like The Guardian are masters in that. The insights with which you can unravel this manipulation and deception, are very helpful to me. It supports in me the possibility for countering the main stream narratives, which are sometimes so powerfully dressed up, that my own inner stance sways…..

Sadly there’ll never be any accountability
Britain is a vassal state of America. So, the media in Britain can't criticize the Israelis without becoming pariahs of the British state.
