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.
Here in Russia state media is mostly bothsiding everything, condemning both Israel and “terrorist attacks” from resistance (at least government is doing a lot to support Palestinians). Biggest war bloggers are mostly zionist, constantly talking about “terrorists”, “ineffective Iranian attacks”. Every DPR/LPR affiliated media is anti-zionist though, which is understandable.
