No adequate words to describe media complicity …. Abhorrence is too tame .

Pretty soon,, I won't be able to tell the difference between the Israeli government and the Third Reich.

As always, you deliver. I subscribe to Ground News as well, at your urging. We humans are a sad lot, reverting to tribalism in our own little spheres. Even mainstream media seems to be falling prey to it. And in addition to the madness of wars and genocides, the whole planet burns, precisely because of our insane addiction to fossil fuels. We must keep the war machine going, else the markets will crash!

And I throw The Guardian in with this same type of half-ass “journalism.”

They're typically better than most, so this is especially disappointing.

You might also mention about the survivors of the fires who need skin grafts and other medical attention but there IS NONE. Imagine being one of them or it's your kid. Imagine being one of the doctors or medical care workers and you know these people could be helped and you can't help them.

There's nothing necessary about this.

Leave the kids to peace!

That's another painful reason why this is beyond even a genocide now, but a holocaust.

The mainstream media does not report on anything of value. Climate change? Lies? The insane killing of people? They have lost their way.

The mainstream media has failed to report on Israel’s genocide and its horrific war crimes. That being said, I’m thankful for independent news sites (like Drop Site News and the Intercept), and for Ground News, but it’s frustrating in these times. My heart goes out to the Palestinians.

Mainstream journalists should be ashamed. They have failed to report on Israel’s genocide and war crimes. The true journalists are in Gaza . They have been deliberately targeted and murdered by the Israelis.

And more than 100 journalists have been killed by Israeli bombing in Gaza, while corporate media outlets remain silent. Horrific failure of duty.

Thank you for the tip of Ground News -- am trying it out. I'm so infuriated at Israeli leadership. Have supported Israel's right to exist all my life, but its turn to the far-right under Bibi, is just like U.S.'s trump trying to escape his crimes, and stealing Palestinians' lands, as in the West Bank .... not to mention .... and why should I not shout it from the rafters?! ... KILLING Pal children, women, men, as if they were nothing!! (I support nonhuman rights as fervently as humans'). Israel is filled with people who do not support Bibi -- why is this evil polluting the world, in nation after nation? .... too large a topic for this paragraph. As I mourn for my country, ... I mourn for the Palestinians without land, without safe shelter, to retreat to.
