Funny thing about war reporting, you cant really trust any news from any side. Unless you are there you wont really know, treat all news as propaganda.
Ps fucking love all the downvotes that dont do shit :)
Funny thing about war reporting, it’s done by international news agencies and covered by multiple sides along with graphic video evidence - so you can trust a lot that is mass verified.
I disagree, I think that journalists can get accurate reporting out of war zones. With some critical reasoning and wide reading an accurate enough - if not complete - picture is possible.
Before someone comes in to say “Israel has been letting western news reporters in”, let’s clarify something.
They have been actively targeting journalists reporting the Palestinian perspective.
Western news reporters from places like CNN or BBC are provided access to the war zone through Israel, and Israel reserves the right to screen what they report on. It is heavily whitewashed.
Well when i was deployed my parents read and heared (tv, paper) things and eventually asked me about it and i was like, what?? Most of it was bull. Some where sort of correct but moslty it was horseshit or twisted.
Yeah, that seems about right. I agree that treating all news as propaganda is good advice, and there’s a certain resolution of detail that we’ll probably not be able to get right for a while if ever.
But I think it’s dangerous to dismiss the possiblity of getting to the truth at all.

That’s why Israel has been actively targeting journalists in the war zone.

That is all, just be wary and read everything with caution. Dont need to dismiss everything but just be wary.
