The Israeli/Palestinian conflict and the issues surrounding it are becoming a litmus test for media literacy. The layer of bullshit around it is thick, but it’s also obviously bullshit.

They changed the headline from being about class cancellation after counter-protesters attacking to being about the president investigating after protests turned violent.
I have to assume this whiny guy is upset that the counter-protesters (pro-Israeli) were no longer highlighted as the violent side.
I see updated headlines for evolving stories all the time. Headlines are never the whole story and they need to be concise. The story was originally about classes being cancelled, then moved to an investigation. If you read the articles, did they not both talk about who attacked whom?
What does this have to do with manufactured consent? The victims of the violence in the protests now consented?

The counter protestors were the violent side. See lemmy.world/post/14940206

I know. The protest turned violent after counter-protesters attacked. Was that not reflected in the article after the headline was updated?
Look, I get that you want to see the headline more specific so it's clear which team was violent, but can you really make a whole vlog about manufactured consent out of this?

Misinformation often comes in the form of screenshots of article headlines or videos that dont show the whole story.
This post has all the red flags.

“News” organizations, everybody! 👏👏👏
All that we get fed to us are propaganda machines for the corporations.
Makes it really hard to talk to people that only consume this type of media.
