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.

The Saddam supporters have the worst cognitive dissonance possible... I've heard some of them claim that the missiles Iraqi militias sent on US military bases earlier this year were somehow empty. Now they're claiming that Iran and Israel are best friends and just staging stuff to trick people. Some have called out that "Iran notified the US of the attack therefore it's fake and staged" ignoring that Iran is notifying UNSC members to comply with article 51 of the UN Charter (Right to Self-Defense). By invoking the charter, Iran is playing their attacks in a calm and calculated way, harming Israel but not starting WW3. Saddam supporters are just mad because Iran won't be like Saddam and just blindly shoot Scuds over Israel while achieving no political gains other than making themselves look "based" to clueless idiots.
