There is a clear double standard between the media hysteria over alleged Russian atrocities in Ukraine and the silence over the rampages by Israeli troops and settlers on the occupied West Bank.
@yogthos 5. Use of emotionally charged language: The words like ‘hysteria’, ‘atrocities’, ‘rampages’ play with the emotions of the readers, leading them to take sides without looking into the facts.
Such manipulation could be intended to steer readers towards a particular point of view on these complex geopolitical issues.
Writing “objectively” is also biased, it just supports the status quo. I actually think it’s more deceitful to try and hide support of the status quo behind so called “objective language”, yog makes no effort to hide that he’s a communist and that is his bias.
For instance, the status quo opinion is that Israel is 100% justified in genocidng Palestinians. Couching our language to “let people come to their own conclusions” directly supports that genocide

This applies 10 fold to virtually all western media coverage of the Ukraine war.
