It's not a single issue, he is also a warmonger and cheerleader for all the US wars among other things.
Or do you mean everyone should just ignore al that inconvenient horrible stuff bcs that's somewhere else and doesn't affect them personally?
The true lib way.

OK, but terrorism is most certainly not a neutral term.
Especially for the US that word is used to demonise people.
Literally the worst thing on earth. Nobody is supposed to sympathise with them.
A reason why they and Isntreal often use it.
So you definitely shouldn't.

The definition " the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims" does not apply to Hamas.
Only that their aim, living in their own country can be seen as political.
If anything, the US/Isntreal military ticks all the boxes.

True, they are not mutually exclusive.
I see I have downvotes only, no one bothered to ask why except you.
So thanks and I'll gladly explain.
For one the post title is wrong.
"Reduced to one job" implies they only do this exclusively.
While the original article says: "priority one is redacting the sex trafficker’s case files." and "taking precedence over all others"
That is not the same.

Second thing, and this goes for any article, people should be more sceptical.
Plenty of times you see one or some of the following words used:

*an unnamed/anonymous source says...
it is believed that...
aledgedly... *

That is simply bad reporting, based on nothing and speculation.
In a lot of cases these types of articles turn out to be untrue later.
Very few outlets are neutral on political matters.
Especially so in the heavily polarised US.
Both sides spice things up, make allegations or even blatantly lie to put the opposition in a bad light.
Everyone should be aware of this.

I don't know TNR but when I click on their breaking news and scroll, literally every article I see is about Trump.
That fixation should give a clue.

And I'm not saying this to defend trump.
The guy does awful things on a daily bases.
So there's plenty they can report on whitout having to resort to these type of cheap tricks.
Factually and with verifiable sources.
While the MSM is generally bad at this I at least expect better from Lemmy.
And its users to be more critical and aware.

That would get you a student studio at best where I live.

This should be normal but unfortunately thee things are rare.
Usuallly the billionaires the MSM labels as philanthropists are among the worst people on earth and their 'good deads' a way to evade taxes or make more money.

They already have chosen a new direction.
Unsurprisingly and in their tone-deaf character they have chosen the worst option.
"embrace patriotism" ban far-left candidate questionnaires and refuse to participate in forums that create ideological purity tests” , etc... I really hope this wakes up people to vote 3rd party, they do not represent working class people and never have.

Sounds more like a Musk idea.
I can see his gigantic ego and narcissism telling him he needs to wear a crown and scepter.
Then surely the plebs will finally respect and validate him.

Were you expecting reason or consistency?

They always belonged together.
Both horrible neoliberal callous policies.
The old imperialist empire and the one that took over from them trying to catch up in warcrimes and death count.
