Should ABC "News" be shut down? They are now directly and openly distributing Hamas propaganda

[marvin martian]

You're exactly right. And we have a depressing amount of evidence to support the claims in the story.

Hamas is the government, and their casualty figures are explicitly attributed to them, just like they should be, as well as other sources.

What evidence? The story didn't provide any, other than the word of a terrorist organization. Is that all you need?

ABC uses public airways and is subject to FCC jurisdiction. They should be exposed for their propaganda.

 

[MisterBeale]

This is a dumb thread, and dumb premise.


No, of course the US constitutionally based government (first amendment) has no business censoring news it doesn't like.

Especially when the US government deep state has a policy allying itself, and is sending arms and weapons to, a government that has a policy of targeting journalists and banning them from the conflict zone so no one but young kids watching tik tok have any proof of what is going on.

If folks want more accurate reporting and more proof, they should demand the US government withhold aid till Israel adheres to western norms of free press.

I am not saying what the numbers are or if they are accurate, I have know idea, but we have no right to step on 1st Amendment rights, no matter what.

And Hamas, apparently.

Same same at this point

They published the story from those inside of hospitals, as well as Hamas, the official government.

You don't have to believe it, although the tens of thousands of people killed by Israel makes it entirely believable to me, and for good reason.

I'm not saying that you are saying the story is accurate, I understand that. I have seen month after month of Israeli attacks on civilians to give this story credibility. I have seen countless, daily lies from Israel, especially when they say they don't target aid workers or civilians, to be more skeptical of the Israeli government than those working in hospitals and members of the press in Gaza. I don't care what Hamas says.

The Nazi party was the official government in Germany.

I believe Hamas’ numbers as much as Israel’s numbers, Russia’s numbers or China’s numbers, Ukraine's numbers which is not at all. But ABC news has a right to give out the numbers.

Exactly, the calls for them to be "shut down" is the creeping fascism in America that many Trump supporters want.

Not that different from Israel in their murder of civilians. Only the number of people killed, and the methods employed. Dead civilians are dead civilans, that much remains the same.

Yes, we've already established the word of a terrorist organization is good enough for you and for ABC.

Local affiliates have a broadcast license that requires them to operate in the public interest.

You mean Hamas, of course

As you mentioned.

I don't care what Hamas says. I care what those on the ground do say, and they all say Israel is killing civilians, and they have the video to prove it.

Biden wanted that during the Covid virus as well, that is why he and his administration were found to be pressuring social media to edit content that they deemed dangerous.

The power of these two political parties is scary and we need to make sure both are kept in check, both groups are trending towards fascism and they have the national so divided that partisans are blind to it.

Those bombs dropping on Gaza all come from Israel. These aid workers and civilians being murdered daily are coming from Israeli munitions.
