    When the headline is distorted, and a practical lie, it does a disservice to your message. And in fact makes other sources less credible overall in the media landscape.

    This applies to this current genocide, as well as any other media event. People are not dumb, when they see the headline and open the article, they will internalize the distortion. And then when they see future headlines they will interpret it through that lens.

      While that is true, the distortion is still far less than with every pro-Israel piece of text I’ve seen recently.

      One could say that when you are on the right side, lies impede you, but in fact people are dumb, including people writing headlines. They sometimes think that imitating their adversary is a good thing.
