Here in India, media is a tool of the fascists. I am ashamed to say it but the concept of journalistic standards is alien to the audience here. The media literally parrots the IOF line, to such a degree of precision that makes me think that I underestimated the sheer evil that can exist in the heart of human beings.

But India is a kind of a special case in the Global South, since its an Islamophobic Hindu fascist state and the preposterous IOF talking points slot well with the racist talking points.

But I am wondering what the situation is like everywhere else. Please fill me in.

    I hate it. Constant bashing of Iran and Hezbollah because they’re Shia and friends of Algeria and mocking their missile attacks while also claiming that they and Israel are just putting on a fake show. This coming from a country who’s been the mole in the Arab world since the 1960s.

  • Radio stations in some Algerian provinces were unironically playing Hamas songs then putting a news a cut every time Abu Obeida spoke.
    Pro Government news are saying “the genocidal war of the zionist entity backed by the west” and are reporting daily deaths and speeches by Hamas Hizbullah and Ansarallah.
    The biggest (real) opposition is calling for us to step out of the square of shame and declare war.

      Seconding this. There’s no real pushback on the Zionist propaganda on mainstream media here. But on the other hand it’s not hard to find organizations and political parties that do push back

  • Here ( where I live ) the Yankees control everything ( including the media ) , and favor the zionists a lot , so when it comes to Palestine , is mostly anti-arab stuff and calling Palestinian people “terrorists” daily on the media nonstop .

      If you’re living in the entity, you should get out now while you have the chance.

      At some point they’ll pull a Ukraine and stop anyone who can pick up a gun from fleeing.

        No , I don’t live inside Yankeelandia … They are inside my country and they have control of the media and of the country .
