Israel bombs Iranian state TV during live broadcast
(www.axios.com)
Another war crime. We need new Nuremberg trials.
"Zionist regime"
The difference in reporting is staggering. Really shows how people are conditioned to believe certain things based on the media they consume.
You'd never hear a Western news organization use the term "Zionist regime."
We have the "Hamas health ministry" instead.
To be fair, Axios didn't rag on Iran here. They didn't do any kind of labeling, just stating what happened: Israel bombed a live Iranian news station.
That's what news is supposed to be. The opinion columns are where terms like 'Zionist regime' goes. Same with whatever you'd want to call Iran's govt, but news is just the event as it comes, maybe with context.
Bombing a live news station, and clarifying that there was no warning, speaks for itself. More context of Israel's many other crimes would be better, but Axios has a very-brief writing style.
Jesus christ.
For those curious, there is no gore in this video.
Still disturbing.
She got back on air 10 minutes later.
With that amount of finger waggling, it feels like she's lecturing me about the dangers of masturbation 😳
Yes, we get it! Its up! In America we just use that expression as a greeting.
What's up?
Women points up with her finger...
Wow! Up is that way in America too!
I wonder if her ability to waggle her finger helped to get hired or if that even was a condition for hiring her?
Also gotta give credit to her how she doesn't seem to panic at all and just goes "fuck this, I'm out of here" when the building gets struck.
All the best to the people who didn't want this, regardless of nationality and faith.
She didn't sound happy even before the explosion.
This is not the full video. In the full video, she's reporting on some random stuff when there are some explosions in the background (2-3), so she starts talking like this until the big one hits.
PS: it's downthread in @industrystandard
Well, I thought I’d feel nothing if perhaps a little shock, but seeing her flee for her life as she was self-righteously wagging the finger, something that she probably does often in defense of the Ayatollah, was kinda satisfying. Let’s not forget who these people are who uphold this tyrannical theocracy, TV propagandists included. I do not condone what Israel is doing, but just for one moment this felt good.

Wow, you really should be disgusted with yourself right now. Go take a shower, Jesus Christ.
You were satisfied seeing someone "flee for her life" because you interpreted her foreign language and hand gestures as "she was self-righteously wagging the finger", and that was enough to make a journalist fleeing for her life because a fascist genocidal state bombed her TV station "felt good".
🤮🤮🤮
There were subtitles for fuck sake 🙄 I didn’t have to interpret anything. Also, Iranian state TV. There is very little that is ambiguous about the video or what the lady in question represents. Also, I seriously doubt she’s a “journalist” as we like to imagine them, doing investigative work, field work, serving the people, and uncovering the truth. Probably just a mouthpiece for the theocracy on state tv.
She is about as much a journalist as Karoline Leavitt in the US.
You have an amazing skill for rationalizing violence.
I hope it's your family next.
You just did the exact thing you accused them of dude
You criticize them for rationalizing violence and then immediately wish it upon their family.
That's very hypocritical.
Jesus Christ you guys with the personal attacks 😳
Calling her journalist is a stretch. She is the token woman mouth piece of the Ayatollah regime. When the Zan zendegi azadi protests were going on, she called for the protestors to be shot.
She is objectively an evil person who is now sitting in the bed she helped make.
Israel is bad and this unprovoked attack is a move by Netanyahu and Trump to distract from their domestic problems. But in the giant pile of shit that this situation is, that bitch getting scared is one of the few nuggets of pure karma.
I hope Khamenei dies too btw. Is that a problem too?
If it has to be shouted at you, its not news, its propaganda. But she was brave in a tight spot, for sure.
Remember 60 years ago when half the population of Persians could show their ears without inciting the other half to violence?
Yes I do. When an oligarchy was destroying Iran and starving its people.
Amazing how the western discourse around freedom is reduced to some silly fun facts about women.
Now do Orthodox Jewish women next. Let's see.
Idk man, seems like it's kinda more destroyed now, tbh.
Also, I don't know about that being a western opinion per se. I chatted with a ~50y old Persian guy some 15 years ago, and he was saying much the same as the guy you replied to.
That's why he left as I understood it. Well 'twasn' t the only reason, but still.
You mean when the US and UK installed Shah disappeared, tortured and murdered tens of thousands of people with the aid of US and Israeli intelligence and weapons?
The manufacturing of consent for regime change seems to be working
Wow I guess we should kill all of them right?

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.
