IDK, NYT has it's issues but I don't see anything wrong with their headline on this. They're pretty explicit (possibly even skeptical given the other coverage of this...) that that's what israel is calling these strikes. What else should they have said?

Oh wait hang on, "Israel assures west that IDF are 'working closely' with amrrican appointed DEI council to ensure no demographic group is unfairly left out of genocidal campaign". They probably could have gone with that. Fucking hell, the only thing that makes my blood boil more than this ~~limpwristed~~ edit: wrist slap-y journalistic coverage is the literal cauldron of blood the IDF keeps scooting out of frame every time biden facetimes them...

The irony is that the tweet is the exact type of propaganda it's claiming to call out. They just want to undermine faith in Western media because if you can't trust them - and despite having some obvious failures they have proven to be the most consistently reliable sources - then they are free to feed you emotional manipulation to push their own agenda.

Early in life I have noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper, but in Spain, for the first time, I saw newspaper reports which did not bear any relation to the facts, not even the relationship which is implied in an ordinary lie. I saw great battles reported where there had been no fighting, and complete silence where hundreds of men had been killed. I saw troops who had fought bravely denounced as cowards and traitors, and others who had never seen a shot fired hailed as heroes of imaginary victories; and I saw newspapers in London retailing these lies and eager intellectuals building emotional superstructures over events that never happened. I saw, in fact, history being written not in terms of what happened but of what ought to have happened according to various “party lines.

~ George Orwell (Not from a book, this is his actual experience after fighting alongside the Spanish against fasciscm.)

This post clearly highlighting how unreliable Western media is, is actually propaganda. Do not believe your eyes it's !
