Israel's Self-Destructive Hostage Rescue Operation/Massacre - June 10th

Colonial Outcasts

This weekend, according to the NYT - Israel Rescues Four hostages in a hostage in military operation - This is a fact, it’s in the active voice and the hostages are numbered. Then “Gaza officials Say Scores are killed.” Which is presented as hearsay, in the passive voice and they victims are not numbered. This is pretty egregious. The role of corporate and partisan media in the United States is not to inform but to manufacture consent for the whims of the ruling and political class. IT’s becoming apparent that we are some of the most heavily propagandized people on Earth. The easiest way to see that is to note how many think we're the good guys. I argue that The Hostage Rescue Operation conducted early Saturday morning will have far-reaching unintended consequences.
