Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

They took her comment grossly out of context for effect. The actual quote was...

“Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal."

Yeah, pretty tasteless, but it's not what the article makes it out to be. She's largely getting dragged for openly criticizing Israel's genocide and the media is skewing the situation to make her look worse. Can't have the masses questioning the party line and all.

The real controversy seems to be around her calling them fromage fighters.

Edit: FREEDOM fighters lmao, but I can't bring myself to fix it.
