Community description for ManufacturingConsent is “when the media decides who you are rooting for.” So, being banned for questioning their narrative strikes me as absurdly funny. I mean, I guess if the idea of the community is that geneva_convenience should decide whom you root for, that would track.

(I pointed out that the Guardian was probably including the hostages who died after the attacks. This really bugged OP and led to a ban.)
I don’t really care for a remedy, seems a silly place. Just thought it was funny as heck.
(For what it’s worth, like most, I side with Palestine but I think being accurate lends credence to our cause.)
I really should keep an eye out for those comms and just avoid. At least any of the vaguely political ones!
(Just Manufacturing Consent feels like a trap designed for me as Chomsky’s thoughts on this are super relevant and interesting so, like a fool, I fell into the trap.)
Yes you should stay out of political comms with your garbage opinions. Glad that you realize this.
You’ve spent almost 20 minutes randomly commenting in this thread, surely you have something better to do?
Technocrit does this in every thread. Nothing new, he just likes to stir the pot.
Ahhh, good know, thanks! I’ve added the appropriate tag. (A groovy feature I did not know piefed had until today.)
