shadysus,

This might just feel like confirmation for those that have been watching the coverage in recent weeks. The CTV journalists and newscasters themselves look uncomfortable too, so it’s good that they’re now able to share what’s going on

The journalists said senior producers and senior editors across the platforms of CTV’s parent company Bell Media have disparaged Palestinian guests, told employees that protests calling for a ceasefire should not be reported on, and blocked or delayed stories that included too much contextual information about Israel’s military occupation and regime of apartheid in Palestine.

The journalists, who are not being identified for fear of retribution, described a widespread bias at the media conglomerate against Palestinians that’s resulted in one-sided, incomplete coverage of the violence in Gaza that does “a huge disservice” to Canadians.

shadysus,

however wrong you may think that is.

I don’t think it’s wrong, what gave that impression? The people living in that region all deserve peace, fairness, and equitable treatment from the governing body

Also there’s a lot more to this article than just the Palestine line

shadysus,

Does that include a way for them to return after the conflict settles?

shadysus,

This one is weird because source selection is important, like how hard we should work to limit public funding going to cartels that are causing legitimate harms in those communities.

Sometimes it’s more expensive to source the substances ethically, but it’s worth doing. I’m sure there are also groups trying to take advantage of these programs for their own gain.

Cartels don’t like progress either, they profit off the violence and addiction

shadysus,

That’s a good tip

Atheists, is there anything religious that sticks with you to this day?

I am Ganesh, an Indian atheist and I don’t eat beef. It’s not like that I have a religious reason to do that, but after all those years seeing cows as peaceful animals and playing and growing up with them in a village, I doubt if I ever will be able to eat beef. I wasn’t raised very religious, I didn’t go to temple...

shadysus,

atheists give you slack for being agnostic

I find that to be really odd behavior tbh. One of the issues with organized religion is when a group shuns or hates on someone for their religious/ spiritual views. That’s also something that can happen with atheism, even if it’s not really seen as a “religion”.

Just be accepting of other people

shadysus,

I’m not sure if slack has a new meaning, but it might be one of those misspellings where the person really means “flack”

“To give flack” fits the context here

shadysus,

Yea that would have been a dealbreaker for me. I’ve used offline maps while traveling fairly often. That’s one of the main advantages of GPS, not needing to send any signals to determine your position. The device calculates it locally based the timing of info that arrives from GPS satellites

shadysus,

al jazeera is a wholy qatari owned propoganda mouthpiece for ismalic jihadis

… yea lol what?

Al Jazeera is Qatari, and so I don’t go to them for content about Qatar in case there’s a bias. However it’s a pretty large organization and they do decent investigative work on stuff happening in South America, Africa, & Asia. New organizations pick topics they think the readers want to see, and so in Canada (and likely the US) there’s usually little to no coverage on stuff in these parts of the world. Al Jazeera puts out decent investigative pieces and documentaries about these places.

TLDR: Al Jazeera isn’t unbiased, and I avoid them on certain topics. However I DO go to them for other stuff. It’s definitely not a “mouthpiece for ismalic jihadis [sic]”

What happened in this article is a bad thing:

had his Facebook profile deleted by Meta 24 hours after the programme Tip of the Iceberg aired an investigation into Meta’s censorship of Palestinian content

    shadysus,

    Not too experienced with it but my understanding is:

    1. RD caches files. You aren’t torrenting directly, but rather you ask for the file associated with a link, and then download it directly
    2. Pretty sure you can travel all you want. It’s only a problem if two locations are using it at the same time?
    3. that should be fine, but check their site for a list of approved VPNs
    shadysus,

    These media sources are slightly to moderately conservative in bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appealing to emotion or stereotypes) to favor conservative causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation. See all Right-Center sources. Overall, we rate Reason Magazine Right-Center biased based on story selection that favors Libertarian positions and High for factual reporting due to mostly proper sourcing and a clean fact-check record.

    Huh, good to know while reading the article. Would be nice to have a better source though

    shadysus,

    From article, it looks like it’s on the mind of the party leaders too, just in a bit of a weird way

    Fraser cautioned against blaming the lack of affordable housing on new immigrants.

    “Let’s look at what the actual cause of the challenges are that we’re dealing with, and recognize that immigration can actually be used as a tool to bring the workers that we need to build more homes,” he said.

    “We have to be really, really careful that we don’t have a conversation that somehow blames newcomers for the housing challenges that have been several decades in the works in Canada.”

    Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre accused Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of doing just that during his own media availability in Ottawa on Monday.

    “He wants Canadians to forget all that and blame immigrants. He wants to divide people to distract from his failings,” he said.

    “He thinks if you’re afraid of your neighbour you might forget that you can’t pay your rent. This is what demagogues do.”

    shadysus,

    Pretty much yep

    shadysus,

    Yea especially when tourists often don’t know about the local risks. Warning signs are mostly for people who aren’t from a particular area

    Don’t want a ‘boy who cried wolf’ situation

    shadysus,

    do you think it’ll be enough evidence to convince

    No, nothing ever will

    You cannot reason someone out of something they were not reasoned into

    shadysus,

    I don’t think this discussion is just about Lemmy

    I agree that Lemmy (+ Reddit and other forums) by design are for anonymous accounts.

    At the same time, things like Twitter / Facebook/ Instagram are more for personally identifiable accounts. I want to see photos from my friends on Instagram, not random people. I get the random people photos on Reddit/Lemmy

    It’s different use cases. I use my real name on Mastodon and PixelFed, and I use this account on Lemmy.

    shadysus,

    Could we get a new pinned comment for this. Some of this is our of date now and it would be nice to discuss.

    Apps, interfaces, browser extensions, scripts

    shadysus,

    I agree with unpinning entirely, it’s an odd fit
