I have some really bad news for you about the Governor of Texas.

That's making a lot of assumptions about someone solely citing Israeli papers and not claiming to have any direct sources in Gaza. What makes you think this particular woman has in any way corroborated them? She's not saying she has an anonymous source and putting her reputation on the line, she's openly citing other journalists.

Is she in some way a particularly reputable journalist who would be inherently careful about Israeli propaganda or having some inherent objectivity? All I see from her regarding Gaza is things boosting the Israeli government's narrative, including a "one year later" piece criticizing anti-Israeli currents in the left, talking about how she went to that music festival years earlier, and called herself as a Zionist.

What is that minimizing title? He's talking about an invasion of conquest. Call it that.

Frederica Matteoni (writing in German for Berliner Zeitung) probably has checked her sources.

Second paragraph in the piece:

"Oday Nasser Al Rabay's body was dumped outside his family's home over the weekend, report Times of Israel and other Israeli media, citing statements from relatives."

The problem with admonishments from groups like this is that they've so covered themselves with shit trying to maximize profits their words don't mean much when they actually have something meaningful to say.

Yeah, the whole thing is a just an embarrassing demonstration of how it's just a big social club rather than a relationship where they should be naturally antagonistic.

Plenty of other journalists posting anti Trump content without problem. If you're too scared to use words to mildly criticize power, you shouldn't be a journalist in the first place. They didn't become cowards due to Trump's new hyper fascism, they've been like that the whole time.

Trump nominee + Bush senior nominee. Couldn't find it in this article.

News organizations and the judiciary might want to pretend who appointed a judge is unimportant to understanding a news story because they all strive to do good objective law, but that's a fantasy.

Looks like they updated the title: "Vance accuses Denmark of not keeping Greenland safe from Russia, China"

But really, journalists don't need to pretend any of this is legitimate. Add a "dubiously" in there. This is obviously not a sincere complaint. Stop assuming good faith just because he's got an official title.

A pardon is just words in the same way a law is. Someone has to implement them, and in this case it would require state officials to act rather than people who can be fired if they don't do it.

This is insane and stupid and tells me there's no one involved in the process that has ever managed a software project before, which makes it doubly insane and stupid.

Of course a fresh out of college hotshot thinks they can complete a major coding project in 3 months. That's why no one takes their estimates seriously, not announces them to the world.

Man, my broad social-studies type learning cut off around World War II out of fear of touching anything politically controversial and this guy is out here just regurgitating propaganda to justify the American gestapo currently kidnapping dissidents.
