Not expressly, no. Moderate/Liberal-leaning outlets have plenty of conservatives on staff, particularly higher up the chain of command (David Zaslav says hello), and those businesses then begin to operate in similar or exact ways. You couple this with most of the watchdog groups and regulatory agencies being toothless - we can just point to the IRS here, and how they'll go after poor people but won't even look at higher income brackets - and the pursuit of Infinite Growth and, well, there you go.
Article: Al Jazeera faces ‘security threat’ ban as Israel passes new law
Benjamin Netanyahu says after approval of bill he will ‘act immediately … to stop channel’s activities’
Israeli legislators have approved a bill paving the way for a ban on Al Jazeera and other international news outlets perceived as posing a threat to security.
After the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, promised to take prompt measures to force the end of Al Jazeera’s operations within the country, parliament granted senior ministers authority to shut down foreign news networks.
Netanyahu confirmed the decision on social media, declaring that the Qatari satellite television station will no longer be aired in Israel and vowing immediate action under the new law.
“Al Jazeera will no longer be broadcast from Israel,” Netanyahu wrote in a post on X after the law was approved in its final readings on Monday. “I intend to act immediately in accordance with the new law to stop the channel’s activity.”
Article: US on high alert for Iran threat in region after Israeli strike in Syria
WASHINGTON, April 5 (Reuters) - The United States is on high alert and preparing for a possible attack by Iran targeting Israeli or American assets in the region in response to Israel's strike on the Iranian embassy in Syria, a U.S. official said on Friday.
"We're definitely at a high state of vigilance," the official said in confirming a CNN report that said an attack could come in the next week.
Suspected Israeli warplanes bombed Iran's embassy in Damascus on Monday in a strike that killed an Iranian military commander and marked a major escalation in Israel's war with its regional adversaries.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has said that seven Iranian military advisers died in the strike, including Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior commander in its Quds Force, which is an elite foreign espionage and paramilitary arm.
Iran has said it reserves the right "to take a decisive response."
U.S. President Joe Biden discussed the threat from Iran in a phone call on Thursday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"Our teams have been in regular and continuous contact since then. The United States fully supports the defense of Israel against threats from Iran," a senior Biden administration official said.

Parents, please don't let your children play with ballistic missiles.
I just fear that even if there was, the people that would need to see it most would simply say it's doctored/faked.
Never thought we'd come to the day we had to ruefully ask that question, huh? Shit's crazy.
We're up to triple taps now I think?
Shocked? Nope.
Hamas is lesson #IveLostCount in that age old adage of #FuckAroundAndFindOut,Over 11k Palestinian children have been killed according to Al Jazeera.

I mean the westerner that got murked were hit thrice after helping others but it's happened more often yeahShocked? Nope.
Disappointed? Hell yes.
Must've missed all that between the other mile long list of atrocities. Not that I make a habit of actively watching; I just make note of whatever pops up in headlines on my phone or in a couple of threads around the internet every now and again.

Next thing Israel should do is start moving settlers into the region and effectively dare the rest of the world to do something about it (TL/DR: the world won't do a damn thing about it.).
*looks around* Put that in your pipe @Leandros? and smoke it.
The worst part is that we allowed this to happen. Clickbait works because people click. If people weren’t so fascinated with death and destruction, the machine would no longer work. Instead of witnessing what we witness everyday and being appalled, we’re just sitting around waiting for the next escalation, because that’s what we’ve been trained to do. Then, when it happens, we sit around foaming at the mouth on our phones watching it unfold or streaming it for the world to see for our own clicks. It’s hard to think back to a time where we were informed of something for the sake of being informed, and not to be manipulated in some fashion.I just fear that even if there was, the people that would need to see it most would simply say it's doctored/faked.
Right? What kinda twisted military strategists are we working with here? The only difference I’m seeing anymore is that they’re not sending the victims by rail to their death… they’re making them walk til they can’t as they’re picked off, and then baiting them like the fish in the barrel that they are in those camps.
Pretty much, sadly. The move to the 24-hour news cycle was, obviously, a colossal mistake - and then exacerbated further by the advent of the internet and social media. The fact that "we're" allowing it to happen again to another level with unregulated/unmonitored implementation and advancement with all these AI fields is definitely the final nail in the coffin; truth is just whatever someone wants it to be.
That certainly seems to be the case, yeah. I understand it's potentially FUD, but conflicting reports just paint a picture of a bunch of bloodthirsty murderers running around killing anything that moves - Palestinians, hostages, journalists and medics, humanitarian aides. Whatever.
This is the new normal

Something in between nothing and genocide
Honestly, the question isn't even correct. Palestine should not be in this position in the first place. Gaza was already the largest open air prison in the world.
No, he didn't. Jordan annexed the west bank, I call that an attack on Palestinians. Just because the month September of "black September" started with an attack on Jordan doesn't mean that's when the conflict began. If we wanna make an arbitrary dividing line of events being part of it or not part of it, the article he cited himself states that hostilities grouped in "black September" are commonly accepted to have started at the plane hijackings (which were western planes) with the Jordanian army attacking the PLO after societal support was expected to be low enough that attacking them would not cause a stir. It states that Hussein knew that Palestinians would be one of the main kingdom's security issues going forward, so clearly he was looking for a way to subdue them for much longer.
I would think that seizing plans in a country would be an attack on that country, regardless of where the planes came from, yes. So you're agreeing with him about "who started it"?
I was simply pointing out that two people have now quoted things that are no longer in this thread.
Gone from the thread I meant. I'm not going to another thread to quote the same thing over and over again.
