  • This shit is routine in western media for everywhere the US doesn't like.

    Don't forget to look out for sources that are "according to experts", "people familiar with the matter", and "on condition of anonymity." Whereas spokespeople for Iran/China/Russia/Venezuela etc are always "without citing any evidence."

  • The United States has made the decision to revoke the foreign terrorist organization designation of the Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham group (outlawed in Russia)

    Probably because the US plans to arm them and use them as pawns in their fight for global domination. What could go wrong?

  • The move followed unsubstantiated claims by Russia's representative

    accusations dismissed by diplomats familiar with the situation

    In western media-speak our unnamed sources are always "familiar with the situation", but theirs are always "unsubstantiated. "

    "Our job is not merely to report the news, but to influence the way people feel about it", said a corporate news executive speaking on condition of anonymity.

  • I imagine that other news outlets don’t agree with the allegations of this being to poison people in Gaza.

    Other news outlets aren't there, they rely on feeds from the AP/AFP/Reuters cabal and their subsidiaries. So if those three don't pick the story up it doesn't get reported.

  • Yes, while I could easily believe it, it must be remembered that the WSJ is a Rupert Murdoch mouthpiece so it could just as easily be utter bollocks.

    Never EVER accept sources like "three people familiar with the discussions" as reliable facts.
