Numbers are political; reporting on them often serves a political function and this is one of the most abysmal examples. In this article the LBC gives a total of 4 possible numbers of Iranians killed by their government ranging from around 16,500 to 80,000 - no sources provided. It does cite a single random finance guy, positioned as an activist, with zero credibility or even methodological training. Again, zero sources cited. It’s actually shocking how journalistically egregious this article is. Palestinian healthcare workers provided every single name they could for their dead, with ages included, and the whole of Western news media offered them as ‘liars’ and inherently questionable when their healthcare ministry was labelled “Hamas-run”. There were countless headlines and words dedicated to denying the number of Palestinians killed. What’s the difference in determining these numbers that lends itself to this difference in treatment?
