Guess what you anonymous coward, “both sides”-ing a genocide is genocide denial.

And genocide denial is complicity in genocide.

Blocked right back, asshole.

Linux Is Best @Linux@mstdn.ca 21/08/2025, 10:17 Replying to @aral BLOCKED. Real news doesn't take sides in war reporting. War is ugly. Awful things are done by all sides. A credible source shows the truth on every side, not just the one that fits a certain narrative. Take the conflict between Israel and Palestine, for example. It has lasted decades. If a news outlet always portrays one side as righteous and the other as evil — that's not real journalism. Both sides have committed atrocities, and real news should say that. BBC News does just that. Not surprising, they upset, both sides (Israel and Palestine). Do you know what I think about that? GOOD. It means they're doing their job.

This person would have declared all Nazi rags to be "neutral" while German Nazis were committing Holocaust in the past.

So called "neutrality" & bothsiding by ignoring real world power imbalance between all/both sides is how Western colonial, imperial & genocidal propaganda passed off itself as so "objective journalism".

Western so called "journalism"(Most sophisticated psyop) spins establishment narratives as so called "objectivity" in reporting.

@aral it is similarly hard to get away from the equation of perpetrator and victim today, as it was to get the reversal of perpetrator and victim out of people's heads a year ago. It was still possible, and truth succeed... Hopefully before every Palestinian is wiped out. We don't just need people who mourn the past, but who fight for today.
