I like them for their strengths, and avoid reading about stuff they are handicapped. After reading them for a while, I agree they are not to be used for gulf states politics, Ukrainian war, and some US politics.
But, if one avoids all that, there is some excellent coverage of many world events.
US politics there is hit or miss. Some writers just don't understand the USA. They understand how America affects their own countries but have half baked notions on what makes people in America "tick" on any side of the isle. But they have some excellent opinion writers too, who really get things. Those people would be called socialists here.
They do have some correct reporting of Ukraine, but that Russian bias is a bit too raw there for me, and that Russian bias is not related to their USA handicaps. Mostly different writers and editors
I don't think they understand China that much, and their Indian coverage is interesting on what they do report. And like many news sites in the USA and EU and Japan they tend to under-report African events; but do it better than most USA media sites
I was temp banned from all Reddit when I messaged the mods in a subreddit to complain about a post.
I think thousands of people did the same thing that day, it was a really obnoxious comment section that ticked off many ; but someone had connections and they issued everyone who complained a three day ban site wide.
Did you even read my comment in the mod log? Which part makes me a disgusting bigoted fuckhead, just curious ? I promise you I started out all innocent, but now, I am just seeing how far you will go. And who the heck is JAQing ? Something tells me I stepped into an unhealthy petty exchange.
Just for the record, I do not support murder at all
See,,, first I heard he was a grocery store owner.. and if I did not know why so emotional.? I only asked in my original comment who he was, but apparently this murder is being used by bad people for propaganda , which naturally brings out questions about this person, who he was, etc. The removal and your comment tells me I accidentally hit on a sensitive subject for some...
So what exactly was bigoted or misinformation on my comment ? I could not figure out how to message the mods, so asking here? I’m asking if he was a Zionist or a regular person caught up in all this ? I called the current Israeli government genocidal. Which triggered the response ?
Edit: I don't think I will ever get an answer, anyone can see that comment is not that horrible, and I did not even call anyone a zionist. I do not like power plays or censorship. Probably will avoid posting or commenting in this community after this, maybe
I will never defend the incoming administration, I expect those horrid people will kill maybe 2% of the USA population over the next years, mostly by lack of services, medicine. But I’m sure there will be other horrible things happening also.
But Gaza was always going to be depopulated of Palestinians - and so will the West Bank. The crimes there will get worse and that is coincidental with the new admin, because this final brutality would have been aided by Biden and others in the USA.
she had long running arguments with most of her neighbors and the person killed was not in “greater argument” than the many kids and adults who were verbally abused over years.
This is my mini hill I am standing on today: AP press normalized a neighborhood terror.
While many Americans will suffer from this new administration, I don’t think it changes the situation in the places I was talking about.
Democrats have a long history of sounding civilized and proper while the death counts do not decrease overseas. And genocide is genocide, it’s really hard to top that even if the new people are worse.
While we enter a new age of destructive actions inside the USA itself, it will be tempting to many to talk up the earlier government. Glorify it even. Make it seem more than it was, which was shitty and murderous to many
At this point it is more like gaslighting than anything serious. And the USA mainstream press, and a big chunk of the press in the EU eats it up, again and again.
A quick look at any Arabic based press quickly restores a sense of reality. As different in perspective as night and day
It took me years to understand everything I heard or learned about the USA was propaganda, wishful thinking, misdirection, folk lore etc.
And even longer to notice nobody understands how it works now.
