"Israel takes control of more Gaza territory as yellow line is moved forward"

FFS, the yellow line cannot "creep" on it's own. The Israeli gov is the actor here and should clearly be the subject of the sentence.

It's amazing how effectively the Trump regime'swar on #Iran has pushed the #ICE invasion of US cities out of the headlines.

(And the #EpsteinFiles too, despite Melania's best efforts)

Iran War Live Updates: Trump Extends Cease-Fire With Iran

The pause in hostilities had been set to expire within hours. The president said Pakistan, which is trying to mediate an end to the war, requested he hold off any attacks.

The New York Times

Why is this not the headline in every US paper, rather than yet-another "Trump says" story?

This is what real journalism looks like. Well done, #NPR

Most media takes the easy route and just pushes out a story on what "Trump said". Doing little more that gov propaganda.

"Two weeks"

Headline: "Trump Chickens Out Again - Now, Russian Oil Allowed for Cuba"

There is a super-obvious pattern to Trump ( #TACO ) that the #NYTimes is ignoring - leaving readers less informed.

After Months of Threats, Trump Softens His Stance on Blocking Oil to Cuba

The White House press secretary said the United States would evaluate oil shipments to Cuba on a “case-by-case basis,” after a Russian tanker full of crude reached the island.

The New York Times

JFC! How many times will the #NYTimes and the world's media give headlines that say:
- Trump threatens Iran and/or
- Trump says talks going well

He's been doing both for weeks and there is zero evidence. They are actively supporting his disinformation. Just stop! Report what he does, not what he says.

Re. above

15 years ago, Fox "News" (and other major media) saw fit to give a New York property developer/golf course owner national air time to say:

- I haven't seen the POTUS's birth certificate
- It *may* have something bad on it
- "I don't know"

No facts, no expertise. Total smear job.

Is it any wonder things have gotten this bad?

💯

But just what is the failure of the media business model?

Could it be the for-profit model, typically by major corporate owners with numerous conflicting interest before the government?

Taken together, that's a powerful incentive to avoid holding power to account while also skewing content to appease your advertisers.
