Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I always see the death of journalists as a great tragedy and injustice when they're targeted in the name of imperial interests. But man, American journalists need a goddamn purge.

[–] Jabril@hexbear.net 61 points 6 days ago (1 children)

they are content creators posing as journalists

[–] OrionsMask@hexbear.net 65 points 6 days ago (25 children)

They're propagandists. Journalism and propaganda are intrinsically tied, and western journalists are responsible for poisoning the minds of entire populations.

[–] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 15 points 6 days ago

Absolutely. Did you see CNN doing the least convincing Syrian prisoner rescue ever the other day?

The thing you have to remember is that none of these people are journalists maduro-coffee

Unironically there's practically no actual journalists in the west. They're either aware of what they're doing or brainwashed to such an extent they don't notice it, which is pretty piss-poor for someone whose task is to peer through propaganda and tell what's actually going on. Both groups need to be buried like the bones this pup buries in their back yard

[–] Sator_is_Tense@hexbear.net 52 points 6 days ago

so they'll plaster white school shooters mugshots all over their 24/7 coverage but when its an ALLEGED ceo shooter they pull out the @Civility@hexbear.net card. ofc this lolbertarian is an incoherent loser but the reality inventing is so obvious lol

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 60 points 6 days ago

Jesus christ, that "lingo" they use. So insufferable.

Team, please dial down the commentary on our clients denying claims for arbitrary reasons. Rate of profit tends to decline etc

Happy to discuss

[–] Melonius@hexbear.net 21 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Not to be overly technical but small correction: our clients are the shareholders and they're not the ones denying claims. Its a small meaningless distinction but wanted to make sure were being totally clear for the new folks :)

AGL closing with 'Happy to discuss is chef's kiss

Oh hey look, a behind the scenes tour at the consent factory. Neat!

"Stop publishing the face picture so people maybe we won't notice that his unibrow doesn't match the shooter's clearly defined and separated eyebrows." Not convinced that he is claiming credit for / being blamed for someone else's actions.

[–] macabrett@lemmy.ml 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I don't really get what the point of shoveling this conspiracy around is. The early photos were low resolution security cameras zoomed in. Shit like thin hair in the middle of a unibrow can disappear into the skin during compression.

Maybe its him, maybe its not him, but this entire conspiracy theory is kinda based on nothing.

  1. they found his fingerprints at the starbucks he went to

  2. the picture of him in the taxi isn't high enough resolution to show the unibrow

it's definitely him

Death to America

[–] freagle@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 6 days ago

Forensics outside of trial cannot be trusted. Hell, forensics during trial are often completely untrustworthy. I highly doubt we will know the veracity of the fingerprints claim until trial.

[–] Bureaucrat@hexbear.net 14 points 6 days ago

Fingerprints and all other forensics are often faulty if not outright doctored

[–] LeninsBeard@hexbear.net 27 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Mental health questions, shocking crime, manifesto, etc., etc.

That etc., etc. is doing a comical amount of legwork huh?

[–] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 5 points 5 days ago

I legit can’t think of what to replace one etc. with, let alone a second etc.

[–] communism@lemmy.ml 27 points 6 days ago

Well I don't think they should be plastering his face everywhere anyway, since he's not been found guilty.

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 28 points 6 days ago

They are shook

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 25 points 6 days ago

Look forward to the next images:

Chatgpt, give me a photo of a man in shadows playing with bleach bottles and IEDs and make it look like those are necessary components of a making a 3D-printed pistol.

[–] edge@hexbear.net 20 points 6 days ago (1 children)

his profile matches one of a mass shooter... the news value and public service of showing his face is diminishing

As if they don't plaster ever mass shooter's face all over the front page??

[–] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 23 points 6 days ago

He shot 1 person. By definition that is NOT a mass shooter

[–] Hexboare@hexbear.net 18 points 6 days ago

nite

Yeah that's it, just go ahead and cluster bomb Manhattan at this point
