  • I mean you did. But whatever. Yes I’ve seen Fox News because I like to see what others are seeing. I like to see other perspectives. It’s obvious within seconds when watching Fox that it’s a right wing propaganda mill, and it’s so cringy it’s hard to believe people actually watch it and take it seriously. I usually avoid video media like that altogether as I find it so cringey - it’s much more efficient to scan the web pages of the different spin sources to see what they’re doing. I don’t understand your point about not thinking it’s possible to form an opinion without it - what watching Fox?. I would think it’s quite easy to form opinions about Fox whether you watch it or not, but it’s a more informed opinion if you do. Whether that’s worth the pain in this case, is arguable.











  • Is it propaganda? I would think it’s good for everyone to take in the perspective of everyone. You can disagree and poke holes in their arguments, or challenge items presented as facts. Why does it hurt to see someone else’s perspective, unless you’re worried that your own agenda might get challenged? There is a lot of bias and closed echo chambers (on all sides). I’m not trying to defend Israel’s actions in Gaza over the last few years, or their other human rights violations, but there is so much silencing of any opinion that contradicts the popular narrative that the pendulum can easily swing too far. There are people calling for the destruction of Israel and the genocide of Jews. Some folk need to understand the history of Israel (the good and the bad) before blindly jumping deep into the Hamas fueled propaganda. I don’t think any video is going to make any sane people think Israel’s actions are ok. But more moderate discussions after seeing other perspectives would probably be more productive than blind hate.
