      This is false.

      Western legacy media also have news that are not in the light of Israel.

        It’s true that they pay lip service to Palestinians from time to time to obfuscate their support for Israel.

        This is false.

        Very strictly speaking, I kinda agree. Western legacy media is the mouthpiece of the ultra-wealthy, and supports continued economic colonialism of the Middle East. That currently happens to coincide with Israel’s interests, so functionally they’re hard to tell apart.

        However, I think saying they’re actually Israel’s mouthpiece comes dangerously close to some of the legitimately antisemitic deep-state conspiracy theories.

        Maybe this is just semantics, but I do think the distinction is somewhat important.
