Dear fellow Global South users, how does your mainstream media cover Israel's genocides? (lemmygrad.ml)

Here in India, media is a tool of the fascists. I am ashamed to say it but the concept of journalistic standards is alien to the audience here. The media literally parrots the IOF line, to such a degree of precision that makes me think that I underestimated the sheer evil that can exist in the heart of human beings.

But India is a kind of a special case in the Global South, since its an Islamophobic Hindu fascist state and the preposterous IOF talking points slot well with the racist talking points.

But I am wondering what the situation is like everywhere else. Please fill me in.

Most channels (CNN and the local ones) are Pro-Israel, but keep this lib views that the war is not against the Palestinians or Arabs, but against Hamas and Hezbollah or whatever. They do bring Pro-Palestinian people to talk too and just let them talk. Channels like Telesur and some others are Pro-Palestine and Anti-Zionism.
