I got eight notifications about an incident yesterday about two people being stabbed in a synagogue from the BBC News App. What about the hundreds killed in Gaza?

    my self-taught media literacy is still very weak and i sometimes wish i hadn't started work on developing it all due to the bitterness it engenders in me when i see how incredibly widespread and accepted/defended it is by my fellow countrymen.

    i sometimes wonder if this is the permanent status quo for the western world.

    it's difficult to understand why people will only accept western news sources despite repeated episodes like these that prove that western news sources are heavily skewed at best or outright propaganda at worst.
