the stinking enigma Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Having been prior informed that news reporting is a subjective thing I must say I find this move a little disconcerting. I would expect it from a nutjob state like saudi but not their israeli allies in the war on terrorrrr https://www.google.com/amp/www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-middle-east-40843126 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the stinking enigma Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 And I would expect it from them. That was sort of the point but thanks anyway. I don't think Israel should be banning respected news outlets. Do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 "Respected news outlet" is a misnomer stinky. I doubt you've encountered the Arab version and even the English speaking divisions are not what we view here in the West. They are sanitised versions of world events. A good comparative example was Iran's, 'Press TV'. It's English version was bereft of the ad hominem, antisemitic bile and pro-palestinian bollocks. Examples of such propagandising, jihad-promoting and racial/cultural hatred are regularly featured on memritv, if you wish to be informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinahand Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 It is rather ironic that it is been called "... the main tool of Daesh [the Islamic State group], Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran." Hezbollah and Iran are at war with Daesh who regard all Shia as apostates to be decapitated and enslaved. A parallel would be saying the BBC was the main tool of the IRA and UDA.

llap Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Trump is quite right about fake news coming from the transnational corporate owned media companies. Unfortunately, the elite are not targeting these corporate run fake news outlets, which are heavily anti-Trump -- they are looking to censor real news and bring back a corporate media monopoly. Trump is right on the money to bypass these media gatekeepers and instead communicate directly to the American people via social media and White House outlets.

It is because of Orwellian control of the media that Trump has to bypass it and communicate with people directly. Trump is literally fighting Big Brother and having to get information to the people past the Thought Police and Ministry of Truth who are 100% against him. I wish him good luck.

llap Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I see you are incapable of reason or entering into sensible discourse. Being limited in your capacity to think or communicate beyond single words or silly pictures is pretty much 1984's "Newspeak" in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
