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.

The post in question: https://piefed.ca/post/266435

(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.)

    … Do you actually not see the irony in posting this in a thread about being banned from a community called Manufacturing Consent for noting a mistake?

    That’s kind of amazing, thank you.

      “Noting a mistake”, and not trying to control the narrative, excuse a century of Zionist atrocities, and attribute Zionist execution of hostages to their victims. Yeah. Totally. Fuck off hazbara.
