Joy Reid of MSNBC went on record yesterday saying she finally saw the actual beheaded ~~Israeli~~ Palestinian baby photos ~~from October 7th~~. ~~Is there anything substantiated with this?~~

I'll see if I can find the program and block.

Edit: Found it — The ReidOut - Podcast - May 28, 2024 @~28m23s

Edit 2: I got the context wrong. Thanks @Psychodelic@lemmy.world for the correction.

The substance is that she lied.

I think it's bullshit, too.

It's a bit strange for her to make a definitive statement this late. Why now?

Edit: Joy Reid was referring to Palestinian babies. I corrected my OP.

There's no repercussions.

Almost all major western propaganda outlets claimed they saw photo and video evidence of rape. Something that we now know is a massive lie since the UN investigation showed there was zero evidence only oral testimonies.

I just listened to this, it's actually a bit before your timestamp, but based on the context of the conversation there having, it seems like they're talking about actually seeing the dead Palestinian kids. When she says "them" it seems to me like she's saying we've now actually seen decapitated kids, whereas as before we only had hearsay

Thanks, I'll re-listen and edit. I certainly don't want to cast an unwarranted aspergion.

Edit: You're absolutely correct, the dialog required careful attention. I'll fix my post.
