Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I'll remember that next time I see an al Jazeera post

[–] PopOfAfrica@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Im not sure I mentioned al Jazeera at all. Random that you brought it up

[–] Bipta@kbin.social 0 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Their point is that those claims are made in both directions.

[–] PopOfAfrica@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I suspect their point was baseless whataboutism pointed at something I never said or implied to try and (in their minds) undermine my point.

If you want to ban one news outlet that you are imagining is state propaganda, why not ban the other state propaganda with a clear biased agenda?

Where did I say I did or did not want to ban Al Jazerra?

I didnt mention it at all.

Thats why its so bad faith.

[–] DoomBot5@lemmy.world -3 points 10 months ago

You're right, you're certainly arguing in bad faith. It's okay, the rest of us understand where you stand, and why your propaganda isn't any better than the Qatari ran lies.

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world -4 points 10 months ago

Not really. Israeli outlets literally just make up lies and repeat known false propaganda. Aljazeera is just one sided reporting
