Genuinely wtf how did one side of the Cold War just completely die without any mass violence or anything Like I know the whole historical context but it’s still WILD to me that the Soviet Union and entire Eastern Bloc just peacefully died

@pickwickpick They’re not in ‘genocide denial mode’ for discussing it Could they do better in reporting it? Absolutely. But scrutinising the claim itself is not wrong. As for the abolition of the free press, I mean… I guess you’re more consistent than half the rest of the comments here

@MarcusH_01 Where does he say they should? Pointing out the press is still in genocide denial mode isn't demanding immunity for scrutiny. Also our so called free press does need attacking, it's the root cause of most of our problems

I know I’ll get some hate from this, but the Greens’ obsession with attacking the media that hold them accountable simply for doing their job is exactly the same playbook as Farage and Trump
Zack Polanski@ZackPolanski

Amnesty International say what is happening in Palestine is a genocide. The UN Special Rapporteur say it's a genocide. Countless genocide scholars say it's a genocide. How are we still doing this? And why is the BBC doing this? youtu.be/Es_wxH04bgs?si…

@TyroneG_G He was attacking the BBC, not GB News And yes, the media have a duty to discuss claims of fascism or racism, even when they’re true

@tranarchist1312 I agree completely with this But the difference is that Zack Polanski is attacking any media that challenges his ideas, even the ones that aren’t owned by right wing oligarch (in this specific tweet, he was attacking the BBC)

@MarcusH_01 The British media is nuts; we never did Leveson 2 and the media ownership class (rightly) saw that as carte blanche to do whatever they wanted all over again. It is fair to criticise the media when it is such a huge part of the problems in this country.

@echochamberbad And they’re both wrong in my eyes to attack the BBC for doing their job That being said, Damien Egen is a backbench MP while Zack Polanski is a party leader, so there’s a difference

@MarcusH_01 damien egan, the labour MP for bristol east, did a very similar attack on the BBC but from the opposite angle - arguing it was biased against israel

@pickwickpick I’m not - I completely agree with Zack’s argument here. That doesn’t mean his points should suddenly be immune to any scrutiny

@MarcusH_01 Because the British so called free press is definitely not the root cause of the country's problems 🤦‍♂️ Also telling you're not trying to rebut the points he's made

@LilyWonderland5 I agree completely when it comes to the right wing press, but I’m talking about the systemic attack on ANYONE who challenges their ideas in general

@MarcusH_01 I'm not sure this particular conversation was unfair. But there are plenty of 'news' media that aren't holding politicians accountable, they're just biased propaganda based on who owns the company.

@daveberkeleyuk I completely agree that Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza and the perpetrators should be thrown into prison At the same time, I believe that journalists still have a duty to scrutinise that claim These statements are completely compatible

The most middle class people in the wealthiest, freest societies in history vote in leftist politicians who then fly out to lecture brutalised Cuban peasants who’ve spent their lives being immiserated under communism about why the West is evil and socialism is great

Leftists don't even bother checking what their feel-good policies actually results in a society they just go on twitter QTing accounts that are 1% more liberal and therefore 1% more aware of second order effects like this
