The Guardian's always been pretty on point. As far as awful media sources go, I don't know why you'd select one that's relatively decent
TheGuardian is a stalwart defender of Israel. They went as far as claiming they verified video evidence of rape on october 7
Israel has this year admitted that no photo or video evidence of rape on october 7 exists.
TheGuardian is horribly unreliable and their double standards are palpable. For more info here is a great source dismantling their propaganda
I totally get having beef with a specific article, but the Guardian is more than one article my dude.
The language being used to describe Palestinians is genocidal
The Guardian view on Gazan genocide charges: Israel finds itself with a plausible case to answer
Israel’s leaders committed genocide in Gaza and must pay for it. Their political and media allies must too
So TheGuardian a stalwart proponent of the genocide is slowly walking back their initial rhetoric of manufacturing consent for genocide. This is what all mainstream newspapers did after the Iraq invasion. First they publish the lies of WMD and mass rape to manufacture consent for the genocide.
Then when the destruction is done they publish a small footnote saying it was not very nice. Even NYT is publishing a few critical articles. It changes nothing.
Instead of lying about having seen non existent evidence, it still dares not name Israel committing a genocide as genocide even in an opinion piece.
If you can find articles from TheGuardian saying there is no evidence that Hamas committed rape on october 7 you will convince me. But knowing them that lie is staying up for a few years after genocide is over. Even now they have not published a correction.
WTF dude, check the dates
The dates for what? These are opinion pieces by external writers. Not articles by TheGuardian.
TheGuardian is still claiming only Russia would ever bomb civilians in broad daylight.
Yeah, odd choice. The Guardian is one of the few remaining outlets with actual credible integrity
I never got the sentiment either. in fact I always found it to be among the best outlets. I'm a subscriber and I don't even live in an English speaking country, and this is my only news subscription - didn't find one that's better overall yet.
I am so disappointed that TheGuardian threw away their entire reputation to manufacture consent for genocide and nobody even remembers it.
Now I understand how they keep doing it after 9/11. Nobody even remembers the mass propagands campaigns even when presented with utterly damning evidence in hindsight.
