New York Times - A man set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, the police said.
"gee why did he set himself on fire? must just be something people do"
it's laughable how US media attributes self-immolation in Tibet to what must be CPC oppression, but self-immolation in the US must just be a cute little coincidence due to poor mental health
you managed so thoroughly to miss the point I was making, I'm impressed
Don't confuse people whose whole narrative is build on some conspiracy of media suppression with facts.
I guess skipping the term "Lügenpresse" to avoid the obvious link was deemed enough progress to keep that same 100 years old tactic alive...
They said almost no and virtually no coverege. It's not anti-semitic to point out that western media is heavily skewed towards Israel. You're completely delusional if you think that's not the case.
Obviously there were going to be articles about the man who set himself on fire just as there was for the person who did it in 2022 due to the climate crisis. The point is the attention the media places on WHY it happens that is being ignored or heavily downplayed.
The ABC article felt like satire in how much it avoided context or referencing what was said in the video
