LESS THAN AN HOUR AGO: our comrades at uchicago's gaza solidarity encampment are gathered around a speaker, listening to wkcr's coverage of the police raid happening at columbia.
meanwhile, just now on wkcr a field journalist trapped in pulitzer hall looking out a window reported a k9 unit is currently on site of the west lawn encampment.
every day there is some future fucking lib congressional staffer in my notes saying "sure what biden is doing now is bad but if Trump were in office he'd be doing X" and then biden does X the next day
It was so gratifying to scream my lungs out at this fucking loser ass CEO at my university graduation ceremony last year (happened in the middle of the writers strike). He's destroying the media ecosystem, pillaging the work of artists for his own benefit. L+ratio+nobody cared about his long anecdote about learning how to play tennis in his childhood.
Such an indictment of the western press. This is literally how mainstream journalists see their job.
"Fair reporting" is repeating unvarnished state propaganda, but throwing in the long out of date death toll for Palestinians. "Fair reporting" is repeating IOF lies and then fact checking three weeks later, feigning ignorance despite the fact that al jazeera reported the actual story on day 1. "Fair reporting" is demanding that Palestinians and their allies condemn hamas even as US bombs and bullets rain down on defenseless civilians in their homes. "Fair reporting" is repeating baseless lies of scared university administrators and issuing a half-hearted correction days later. Fuck the "fair" reporters, fuck the corporate media, and fuck you newsweek.
genuinely think i might stop reading the news entirely. this is so dire
