it is unconscionable that this is how @apnews.com reports a deadly IDF strike that KILLED ONE OF THEIR OWN FREELANCERS

The headline from NBC, I found equally impersonal. I figured it was just me... bsky.app/profile/nbcn...

They have changed their story a bit, but still don't call it outrageous nonsense to justify double tap war crime on a hospital killing reporters and medical staff and injured civilians

Israel isn't trying to hide that it's a terrorist state now.

And media broadcast it without calling them for their war crimes is the main problem

"the military believed" How dufuk does AP know they actually believe that?
aug 26, 2025, 4:56 pm • 6 0 • view
That's directly followed by, "the Israeli military said." They're reporting what they were told. Not a defense of the coverage (and certainly not of the Israeli military lol) but they're not at all pretending to know what they actually believe

I give virtually no credit to post-hoc disclaimers after they repeat the lie in their own words. They do this all the time when they WANT to present something as real. "BIG BULLSHIT HEADLINE, (junk study says)."

I'm not asking you to give credit lmao I'm just telling you that you misinterpreted that sentence, that's all

They've been pulling this crap for so long, you don't even see how crappy it is. You just think it's normal news language to state a false thing in their own words, then be like "someone else said that."

A glance at my profile would probably show me complaining about news language just about every single day lol I fully understand what you're saying, this is just a miscommunication

I share the same opinion as what you've been saying in the last few replies though haha it's just either I misunderstood your first comment or you misunderstood my first reply

"was ALLEGEDLY targeting" or "was CLAIMED TO HAVE BEEN targeting." Put the doubt in front of the probably take fact. Simple as.

Sure. But I was responding to a comment that made it sound like they just straight up printed what they believed, not what they were explicitly told. I think they just actually didn't get it because it was kind of an awkward sentence, so I cleared it up.

just so we're clear--israel admits they killed TWENTY PEOPLE including FIVE JOURNALISTS to destroy a CAMERA. not a person holding a camera. just a camera.

Gee, why is Israel so worried about a camera??? Were there images of war crimes and genocide bring captured by thar camra?

Meanwhile the DNC is still trying to keep the door open to Israel being a redeemable ally. Good way to get people to quit identifying with the party in droves.

The double-tap strike is a classic terrorist tactic, usually carried out with car bombs. Israel is in the company of the IRA.

20 INNOCENTS... My ignorant MAGA uncle uses the Stalinesque, "Good of the many outweighs the good of a few." It's a new low when dictators reduce their already cruel rationalization by elevating the value of one fucking camera above 20 lives that God gave real people. Insecure little peckers....

Killing 20 people is not a "mishap". Killing even one journalist is not an "oopsie". Every day, all over the globe, journalists risk life and limb to protect human rights and human dignity. We owe all of you a tremendous debt of gratitude. AP should fight for its journos, not minimize their deaths

But good news. Apparently Netanyahoo regrets this "error" and will be mounting a "full investigation". His blatant and cynical mockery of these intentional murders are literally nauseating.

They killed 20 people to destroy an *object* capable of documenting how they kill people.

That's their cover story. They won't admit the real reason for the attack.

What's crazy is the they didn't even destroy the camera. It was later found. They're deliberately lying in an attempt to cover themselves.

The word overkill doesn’t come close to describing this horrible attack, although it does have the word kill embedded in it.
