[Video] British journalist Steve Sweeney bombed by Israel while reporting in Lebanon - Lemmy.World

He is injured but not dead

Wild to see 280 people upvoting content from RT, which is literally a Russian propaganda outlet. But thanks for the list of 280 people whose votes I can safely ignore, I guess.
What russia propaganda is spread in this specific video? This is also a community about insane videos so they upvote insane videos
It’s propaganda because it shows how Israel bombs indiscriminately while they’re at war with Russia’s ally Iran. This is effective propaganda because it’s true.
The word russia was never mentionned in video. Yes RT do propaganda but it is not in this video
The video literally has a watermark on it that says russia in big letters in a twitter handle. You clearly did not watch the video or are clearly lying. Blocked.

Propaganda doesn’t mean you don’t ever report news accurately, lol. In fact, effective propaganda relies on it.

One of the Allies’ Secret Weapons Against the Nazis Was a 21-Year-Old Woman Armed With a Microphone and a Script of Lies

As “Vicky With Three Kisses,” she strategically sweet-talked and sang to German troops over the airwaves of Europe. But Agnes Bernauer didn’t mean anything she was saying

Smithsonian Magazine
I never said he is not a propagandist. I said a propagandist can be a journalist or any other job relating to public affairs

I think the point he’s making (and at least which I was making with the article, and it’s actually a really good read) is that quality propaganda is inherently hard to discern by it’s very nature, and in this time of war with Russia, we should probably do even the small things we can to avoid known Russian propaganda outlets.

Or do you disagree?

He is claiming that doing propaganda strip you of the titlte of journalist which would mean that person is not a protected person in war zone. It is like someone getting hit by a car and someone else talking about how the person who was hit was a bully who hurr many people. It is a justification of violence

No, I don’t agree with that. The reporter doesn’t have anything to do with it.

It’s about not watching known propaganda outlets, because despite their information being accurate most of the time (and convincingly small lies other times), they usually have an agenda as to where they want to take you, feelings-wise.

For example, during WWII, Germans would’ve never tuned into Atlantikssender if it had been lies. No, it was (mostly) accurate reporting (with wins and losses, Germany always lost a bit more than they actually did, and the Allies always won a bit more than they did). What made it propaganda, aside from the small exaggeration, was Vicky mit drei Küssen, or “Vicky with three kisses”, who was an actress of German origin, who had escaped to England, and was there to make the German soldiers just feel like the war is bullshit (which it is, as a larger phenomena as well, so that’s not in any way untrue either) and to imagine being home with their better half. Or if they didn’t have one, made them imagine having one.

I’m not saying this reporter is any of those things, or in any way involved with Russian propaganda at all. I’m saying RT is, and we can’t possibly know which of their material is bending the truth and how. Obviously it isn’t this, as shooting journalists is pretty common for Israel, but the larger point is still that we can’t know, so just avoiding anything RT is the best way to go.

“Justification for violence” pssshhh, I’d say “good try”, but it really was not even a good try

But the other user complained about the journalist not the russia media

No, they didn’t… ?

He mentions RT being a Russian propaganda outlet and people upvoting it. Nothing about the journalist or the event is mentioned.

I was in the wrong sub discussion. Sorry about that
What are you even on about? Weird

Oh yeah, this video is clearly Russian propaganda.

Are you that much a conspiracy theorist that you lost all pragmatism in life? It doesn’t matter where this video comes from, it is what it is.

Sheesh you must be fun at parties

HEY GUYS I FOUND THE ZIONIST
Don’t try to drag me into being trampled by harassers by making McCarthyist claims about what I believe with zero evidence. You are the worst type of person. Blocked.
Did you write this from your Fuhrerbunker?
WAIT is there a way to only ignore someone’s votes?
Yup, it takes some programming but I find it quite handy for avoiding botnets and tankies.

Oh geez, do tell.

Make a pull request! If I block someone, then I also want to ignore their votes.

Wild to see this comment having such downvotes.

I mean, not actually.

But it’s nice to see.

Thanks for confirming you’re a dumbass, blocking account. Makes it easy.
RussiAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHGHHHGGHGHGHGHGHHGGHHG!!!

But thanks for the list of 280 people whose votes I can safely ignore, I guess.

Cool, and we have a list of hasbara accounts like yours.

Wow thanks for the threat man that’s fun to wake up to. I guess I must have really upset the tankie mothership to have gotten so many threats today. I do not support fascists or authoritarians of ANY kind, wild to see that you only dislike them when it’s not daddy russia.
What threat though?

LOL hang the fuck on. You’re saying the explosion we all saw didn’t happen?

GTFO here.
