Comment Gaza Discussion (Score 3) 170

I do not object to the discussion of Gaza. I object to the lack of attention of other atrocities, Sudan, Myanmar, Uyghurs, and various other humanitarian disasters. Israel is being held to a differentstandard than other countries. No one is calling for the erasure of China, or the Gulf states supporting Sudan. I am happy so many countries are supporting the creation of a Palestinian state. They have beenoffered a state three times, and turned it down because they did not want to give up their goal of eradicating Israel. Maybe this time they will take up the offer. I wonder why only Israel is held to a standard? I'lll let you. guess——

CBS has an average of 5 million viewers each night (https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/fact-sheet/network-news/). This is out of a US population of over 350 million. Like all conventional TV news, it has become a fringe influence. Walter Cronkite is long dead. For better or worst, most people get their news from TikTok or Instagram.
