    This war uncovered the conventional one sided “reporting” by most big media outlets especially here in the US which was in favor of Israel, turning a blind eye to the blight of the Palestinian civilians. People called them out because of social media and media outlets changed their tune to be more “neutral” as a consequence.

    Social media sucks and but one thing it’s extremely good at is disseminating information, good and bad, and it should be used with that in mind.

    By comparison, that Atlantic “article” is paywalled and can’t even disseminate its point beyond the headline.

    Lol.
