I feel like you missed my entire point about phrasing everything as an allegation to cover themselves. I’m shocked you’re replying to what I said because what you’re saying feels like you haven’t read anything I’ve said. You also routinely cherrypick misleading quotes and ignore the follow up questions where they press the specific things you talk about.
Listen, if you want Jerry Springer-style screaming fights, don’t listen to NPR interviews. Idk what else to tell you. They aren’t going to press people 15x to get them to agree it’s genocide. One follow up question pressing them is all you get.
Who said anything about “Jerry Springer screaming fights”?
I’m saying when Israel is sniping children in the streets maybe NPR hosts should actually do their job and push back with the facts when one of their guests asserts (falsely) that genocide is too high a bar in this case because Israelis aren’t explicitly saying “We’re committing genocide”.
People have been so inundated with corporate infotainment bs that they can’t even distinguish journalism from straight propaganda.
It is their job to ensure those they interview are held to account when they misrepresent the facts and that they not slant the facts to favor some predisposed political notion they have.
You’re fixating on the specific term to avoid acknowledging the problem that I’m talking about.
I already did in the course of this conversation. Continuing to use the term “war” is one example, as I said. It is not a war, you cannot be at war with a territory you already occupy that has no statehood or military. Framing it as a war is very misleading.
And I even pointed out in your interviews how they are allowing twisting of the facts on air to go unchallenged.

It is not the job of any journalist or publishing house to label something a genocide.
That responsibility belongs to the ICJ and UN.
Journalists report reality, they do not shape it.

Can you link to a single instance of NPR misrepresenting the facts to benefit the Netanyahu regime, or are you just talking out of your ass?

It was at this point, that he finally understood your argument and got frustrated.
I guess continue to only get your news from the Grey Zone or other sources who are willing to confirm your biases.
I don’t really give a fuck what you read or think.
