    If you can name a single account of a supposed leftist who is filling their day by posting state propaganda or pro-weapons manufacturing sources to leftist communities, than I will happily consider this to have merit.

    From my perspective it seems like you are excusing authoritarian behavior under the guise that leftists do it for others and thus are obligated to do so for Hamas.

    I think until you name and shame we can probably dismiss this specific point.

      i never suggested any obligation. i’m saying that it’s unreasonable to disqualify factual reporting on the basis that you don’t like the people that funded it. object to the framing, or even to the actors themselves, but the reporting of facts is done by all kinds of actors, and it’s up to readers to understand biases in even factual reporting and come to their own conclusions.

      how hard is this?

      new york times

      washington post

      given how ubiquitos links to these war-hawking publications are, your objection to al jazeera can’t be motivated by the fact that tehy are f unded by bad people. it must be something else.
