Headline after headline fails to mention that seizing the ships and kidnapping humanitarians violates international law. Instead the articles repeat Israeli propaganda.

This is how Western media normalizes Israel's crimes.

Truth is a very fluent concept, unfortunately

Yes, news should always tell the truth, of course, but it is so easy to (accidentally) inject bias. You could simply spend a minute more on one interview than another and be biased

Journalists should always strive to be as closed to unbiased as possible, and indeed always try to report the truth in a truthful manner

Tell that to fox news and co

This also implies that news organizations must be independent and should always be funded by independent government organizations, not some rich billionaire
