Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Thanks for sharing!

Pretty bare bones article on Gaza and journalists killed though, it talks more on the owner class event and awards...

Found anther article: https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2024-04-27/chants-of-shame-on-you-greet-guests-at-white-house-correspondents-dinner-shadowed-by-war-in-gaza

For some attendees, the protests on the way in may have been the only time they heard about those journalists killed in Gaza — unless they were listening very closely. The slain journalists in Gaza were mentioned one time on stage, according to transcripts of the event, when NBC News Senior White House Correspondent Kelly O’Donnell said, “Since October, about 100 journalists have been killed, most of those deaths in Gaza, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.”

That was it.

President Joe Biden, who has steadfastly supported Israel’s war, did at one point acknowledge the dangers journalists face.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, Israel has laid siege to Gaza, killing 34,000, displacing millions, and leaving the population at imminent risk of famine.

President Joe Biden, who has steadfastly supported Israel’s war, did at one point acknowledge the dangers journalists face.

“You literally risk your lives doing [the] job you do, covering everything from natural disasters, to pandemics, to wars, and so much more,” Biden said.

“Barak Ravid’s reporting displayed deep, almost intimate levels of sourcing in the U.S. and abroad that produced stories closely aligned to the events that subsequently transpired,” the association wrote.

An award for excellence in presidential news coverage under deadline pressure went to New York Times Chief White House Correspondent Peter Baker.

The association wrote that his “coverage of President Joe Biden’s visit to Israel just days after the Oct. 7 attacks, filed on deadline from Tel Aviv, combined a comprehensive recounting of that whirlwind trip with expert, reporting-driven analysis of the president’s messaging and priorities at a fraught global moment.”


The original article contains 600 words, the summary contains 167 words. Saved 72%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Vote genocide, no matter who!

It wasn't mentioned because the WH is complicit in their murders. The US is trying to cover up, like they always have, Zionist crimes as much as Zionists are.
