Here in India, media is a tool of the fascists. I am ashamed to say it but the concept of journalistic standards is alien to the audience here. The media literally parrots the IOF line, to such a degree of precision that makes me think that I underestimated the sheer evil that can exist in the heart of human beings.
But India is a kind of a special case in the Global South, since its an Islamophobic Hindu fascist state and the preposterous IOF talking points slot well with the racist talking points.
But I am wondering what the situation is like everywhere else. Please fill me in.
Seeing Mexicans, Brazilians, and (presumably) Jordanians claiming this- I’m not surprised, as the US basically owns (or influences to such an extent it effectively owns) much of the mainstream “local” media around the world.
How is the mainstream sentiment, though? I know that much of Latin America deals with… considerable amounts of cracKKKerism/comprador-ism, but most countries are not generally as cursed as the imperial cores all the same. Hopefully this is severely weakening these media sources and the western influence on public opinion?
I am from a rural region in mexico, most people have no clue about international politics here so the mainstream narrative takes over unfortunely.
Interestingly, the richest oligarch in México is from lebanese descent, i wonder what he thinks about the zionist terrorism in lebanon.
From my perspective, the mainstream sentiment is varied. The constant pro-palestinian protest are weakening the zionist narrative. Lots of outspoken zionist(or the ones that are within my circles) have shut their mouths and moved on to showcasing their wealth.
Adding to see the perspective of @[email protected] to enrich this discusion
