    CNN and fucking USA Today have been doing quite a bit of actual complete and honest reporting recently.

    I have no idea where it came from, but I’ll take it

      They even quoted a protester, which shouldn’t be an unusual event when covering protests, but here were are.

        That’s what I mean. It’s like they are trying to get at an honest presentation of the facts of the story.

        It’s fuckin weird from ANY corporate US news outlet but from those two it’s like bizarro world

          They’re trying to salve their conscience for their role in the ongoing disaster that is the demented orange rapist. Maybe.

      I guess they are likely getting feedback that boomers and normies aint accepting the propaganda, so they needed to improve it… truth does have some power still.

        But… why? I am honestly baffled as to the business reasons behind the decision. I don’t think people are sick of propaganda. People love propaganda.

        But it’s hard for me to say you are wrong, also, simply because like I say I have no idea what the thinking behind it is.

          My only guess would be people can get better propaganda elsewhere and the CNN propaganda was supposed to fly under the radar as coming from a “real” news station. CNN has had various stories about right-biased reporting which actually damages their brand, unlike Fox where the target audience is all in.

      Everyday when I wash the dishes I ask my google home to give me the news, it goes CBC to CNN to PBS and those very mainstream sources have been pretty decent in communicating how high the death toll for Palestinians have been and how dire the situation there is.
