At this point in time everything Israel and Netanyahu do is sus, so 'waiting for the facts' is just an excuse to do nothing.

So let's spread potential misinformation instead! Banzai!

(There's enough evidence of Netanyhau and Israel's atrocities not to have to potentially make shit up.)

One piece of misinfo is enough for them to use as a Get out of jail-free card

Indeed, but that isn't my primary concern, since we have as much responsibility to call out their bullshit. Problem is that the media gets bored after one pass and never tried to correct the record.

A responsible CNN for example would call Trump out at every opportunity during live presentations and not broadcast anything pre-recorded that Trump says that doesn't have a basis in fact or hold any value to the public otherwise (like trump rambling nonsense reveals his worsening senility, which is handy to know).

FOX News isn't even worthy of criticism it's so utterly captured by the conservative propaganda machine.

FOX news & Sky News aren't captured. They ARE conservative propaganda machines

For some, I guess it could be. I just personally prefer for more concrete info for most stuff.

[-] liuther9@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Then why even comment? Your comment brings zero value

The comment above mine was trying to call out people who want to wait for facts. I just shared my opinion on it. This is not a very high barrier platform lol

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Since you are not waiting. What are you doing?

[-] Ilandar@lemmy.today 5 points 3 days ago

Shaming others on social media, of course. How very brave and noble of them!

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Mental masturbation is it? Let me assure you that you can't shame these people. They have none along with no empathy.
