        Most corporate media aren’t the sister organizations of Hamas.

        but they take money from people just as shitty, like bayer and lockheed and the pentagon. there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

          What specific US based leftist media are you accusing of taking money from weapons manufacturing?

          I have been specific in my accusations against a media company, it is only right that you should as well.

            none, but there is plenty of us corporate and state sponsored propaganda posted in these communities and i don’t see accusations of shilling for the pentagon and cia being thrown around like the accusations of shilling for putin/trump

              If you can name a single account of a supposed leftist who is filling their day by posting state propaganda or pro-weapons manufacturing sources to leftist communities, than I will happily consider this to have merit.

              From my perspective it seems like you are excusing authoritarian behavior under the guise that leftists do it for others and thus are obligated to do so for Hamas.

              I think until you name and shame we can probably dismiss this specific point.

                i never suggested any obligation. i’m saying that it’s unreasonable to disqualify factual reporting on the basis that you don’t like the people that funded it. object to the framing, or even to the actors themselves, but the reporting of facts is done by all kinds of actors, and it’s up to readers to understand biases in even factual reporting and come to their own conclusions.
