"In running an opinion piece that suggests it may now be acceptable to use the term genocide about Gaza, the Guardian has admitted it has been – even according to its own resident genocide expert – complicit in obscuring that genocide for a half a year.
Remember that when editor Kath Viner comes cap in hand once again, as she did this week, begging for money from readers for her brand of supposedly “fearless, independent journalism”.

@junesim63 There is no hope for the western press.
They can claim all they want that they are "free", "independent", "fearless", with "journalistic integrity".
They aren't. They are cogs in the white empire's propaganda machine manufacturing consent, for wars and destruction of the RoW, to maintain the white empire's dominance and exploitation.
A worthy read…
‘The Guardian is allowing this debate very belatedly – at the moment when, as the article’s headline concedes, the genocide has reached its “final stage”.
“The author of the Guardian’s opinion piece, Arwa Mahdawi, cites various figures from experts that put the true death toll in the hundreds of thousands, rather than tens of thousands – something that was obvious many, many months ago to observers not pandering to the sensitivities of Israel and its apologists.’

The Guardian is obviously for sale. You can tell by the minimizing quality of its Covid coverage.

The Guardian can take a long run off a short pier.
''complicit in obscuring that genocide'' Let the fall out begin. #journalism #OvertonWindow #UK #US #Australia #Anglosphere
@junesim63 Not much choice when it comes to international news organisations. CNN, NYT and WaPo have some ties that will accelerate their deterioration in the coming years.

@junesim63 One article doth not an impartial, free, independent, fearless, integrity-driven newspaper make...
@junesim63 The Guardian's nag pop-up asking for money never has any way of telling them *why* you're not giving them money.
(In my case because I don't fund #brexshitters.)
