Walking in a straight line is hard.
Massacres against Palestinian civilians in Gaza are still being carried out by Israel. Just minutes ago, another massacre occurred in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood.
"Why allow him to march and not people who want to protest about the plight of people in Gaza?" @bbcnickrobinson presses Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch on her comments suggesting she would not ban a protest organised by far-right activist Tommy Robinson.
I will never understand how they freak out over a sticker yet stay completely unfazed by mountains of children’s bodies piling up non stop for 3 years!
Fed up of the media lying to you every single day? Double Down Newswatch will hold them to account. Never before has aggressive scrutiny and fearless independent journalism been so important, yet never before has the mainstream media been so narrow in its perspectives, so infected in groupthink, and so tied to this failed political class and system. If you find yourself screaming at the telly at the established pundits and news providers. The Laura Kuenssbergs, the Robert Pestons, the Trevor Phillips, Dana Bash and Bari Weiss, you are not alone. There are millions of people like you and we’re here for you. This is not a program that will tell you what to think, the aim is to provide you with the information and knowledge you need to be able to make informed decisions in a functioning democracy, something that mainstream media is failing to do. Like millions of others I’ve watched in horror and astonishment as the Israelis have used Western weapons and diplomatic protection to maim, mutilate and murder tens of thousands of small children and other civilians. There’s no other issue where the divide between the mainstream media and political class, which apparently regards this as tolerable, and the rest of us who’ve reacted like normal human beings, is so profound. Above all, I feel deep shame and guilt at my own profession which continues to peddle a perverse inverted journalism, where allegations of racism are hurled not at the perpetrators and supporters of ethic cleansing, apartheid and genocide, but at their victims and their supporters, smeared and disempowered as antisemites. Gaza encapsulates the political and intellectual and moral bankruptcy of those who rule over us and those who are to tell us what to think. Western politics and Western journalism is in desperate need of renewal, we want to be a part of that and we hope you join us. @PulaRJS Double Down Newswatch, covering the stories that mainstream media misreports, underreports or simple doesn’t report at all. Premiers this Wednesday 6 May at 6pm
