Open Sources Demolish the Legacy Media
American Thinker ^ | 22 Oct, 2023 | Clarice Feldman

Thanks to the ever-expanding Infowave, the media's Blood Libel against Israel has crashed and burned.

Islamist butchers, and their media and academic buddies, failed in their latest rerun of the war against Israel. In the days before online media, particularly Elon Musk’s X, the storyline was a familiar one. Israel would be attacked and the mainstream media would be flooded with accounts from local reporters and photographers and embedded compromised national reporters of civilian injuries and deaths during any response. The emotional response would follow: a call would come for Israel to pull back before taking effective charge of the enemy, and the United States would force its hand.

Not this time. This time, we could see accounts from both sides, from the pictures and bios of the murdered, injured, and kidnapped civilians, who hailed from countries around the world. This time we could see the videos of the Israeli response. This time we could see the pictures of the bloodshed and hear the accounts of among others, the forensic scientists who examined the butchered bodies of the victims.

This time we could hear the voices of, not only Jews, but Bedouins, Moslems, and Druze in Israel and Moslems in neighboring countries as anti-Hamas as you can find anywhere. This time we could see who was supporting this butchery in the West. This time, those who spread the blood libel are fully exposed.

On X Steven Sinofsky explains the revolution in reporting.

Much like proprietary software, the flagship media outlets view news gathering through the lens of proprietary source, only in this case the source generally means access to people, information, data that is not available to laypeople… Conversely, these established sources and experts rely on these relationships to spoon out information and views in an effort to shape...

Is the left more antisemitic or more pro-muslim. I can’t tell.

Too early to tell.

And it’s doubtful whether anyone has done a reasonably thorough survey of the global internet.

The Left are directly opposed to Western Culture that was created by Europeans, and Christianity—the bedrock of that culture. The American ideal of “All men are created equal...” is an afront to their goal of equity and socialism.

That the Muslims are also opposed to the same Christianity has made them the strange bedfellows of the Left. And the rage and violence that Islam can bring forth appeals to them in their arrogance, thinking it cannot be turned against them.

Jews are just a branch of Christianity to the Left and the Muslims. The huge impact on the world the Jews have had—cumulating in Jesus, but also living on in their intelligence and philanthropy—makes the Left and Muslims seethe with rage.

Just like those in the German Government, who used Hitler for their own ends, thinking they could control him.

Re: https://www.statista.com/statistics/946580/network-news-usage-frequency/

About 50% of Americans watch network news at least 1x/week. The breakdown is this: 24% watch daily; 19% a few times/wk; 7% 1x/week. It's both interesting and coincidental that the political divide in that nation is also split roughly 50/50.

As long as anti-Christians control our news media, Americans will continue being fed lies; right will continue being portrayed as wrong and wrong as right.

No Holy Spirit and Word in your heart will generate lies and an anti-Christian narrative, which is what we see in network news.

What I do not understand is the talking point of HAMAS. The State of Israel should not be calling out Hamas! They should be calling out the Government of Palestine as committing these atrocities! Let the entire “Palestinian government” own this atrocity! Let Hamas = Palestine so they have to identify as butchers together! We all know that every Palestinian wants the Jews destroyed and sent into the sea. Hamas is the governing authority in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank of Israel. They are ONE and the same. They are united for the destruction of the State of Israel. DO NOT SEPARATE THEM!! The Palestinian’s attacked Israel on 10-7! ALL Palestinians own this! They are united! Let them choose who they are today! As Israel goes into Gaza , the West Bank and Lebanon let all of the enemies of Israel know that they have a death warrant on their head! Do not let them separate themselves by labels! Do not play their game of words!!

“…Not this time. This time, we could see accounts from both sides, …”

Brady put the civil war on everyone’s breakfast table. Along came Viet Nam and video and it went up another order of magnitude. Who’da thought there was another level coming but here it is with personal video and the internet. And it screws the lying leftist editors to boot.
