    How is an article labeled “Opinion” ever a thing you learned? This is not fact. Post this literally anywhere else instead of trying to disguise your opinion as fact.

    Not in a million years. Not only are all the uses of speech cited within covered by the 1A, but the American government wouldn’t let the UN prosecute actual US war criminals let alone reporting agencies not sounding pro-palestinian enough.

      Right. The historical case in the article of a crackdown on media supporting a genocide was in Rwanda. Why, yes, rich nations will apply these rules to poor ones and not to themselves.

      It says “western media”

      No other country has your deranged, antiquated ideals of what people are or aren’t allowed to say

        With a thumbnail of CNN, which other country would it be aimed at?

        The American media will never be prosecuted for this.

        Pretty sure all Western Nations being ‘called out’ in this article have codified Freedom of Speech, Religion, and Press in their list of rights (charter/bill/constitution/etc…).

        your deranged, antiquated ideals of what people are or aren’t allowed to say

        Gee I wonder what this statement allows people to infer about who you are, what kind of nation you’re really from, and what your real agenda is.

      Either this guy flunked social studies, or didn’t grow up in a western country

    Do you not understand what free speech is? Calling into question the credibility of Hamas’s statistics is perfectly reasonable.
