If they talked about this on television news instead of showing police beating protestors, do you think people might feel differently about the issue?

Here’s how the UK’s Channel Four covered the war today. You learn about 21 Gazans in a single family who were all killed overnight. You have an interview with a doctor about a lack of supplies and evacuating from supposedly “safe” areas. Real coverage.

U.S. TV news has been embarrassing for the entirety of the war but this is a good point. It’s gotten so much worse during the protests. Imagine if American TV showed real footage from Gaza, actually giving context to the reason college kids are protesting right now.

Cops stood by during the worst of the violence. "By 3:10 a.m., police had separated the majority of attackers from the pro-Palestinian protesters. But law enforcement did not arrest or appear to question the attackers, instead granting them an exit route away from the camp, according to video."

The argument for militarized intervention on campus was about student safety. Much of the violence was police assaulting protestors. When a violent mob formed to assault students, the police were slow to respond. And those writing op-eds about student safety don't seem all that interested.

This is really an extraordinary piece of reporting everyone should read. Chancellor of UCLA reassured concerned faculty that counterprotestors would not pick a fight and that private security would protect protestors. Security contractors walked away when mob formed. Gift link wapo.st/3UFgVta

Despite warnings of violence at UCLA, police didn’t step in for over 3 hourswapo.st Faculty had raised alarms in the days before the attack on pro-Palestinian protesters. That night, one witness called emergency services 11 times before police intervened.

Once you accept that NYT is a cult everything about the institution - including how some reporters seem to undergo whole mind replacements after joining - makes sense.

Here's a nasty story. Meta had internal researchers tell them directly that taking like counts off of instagram would make users happier. Called it Project Daisy. However because it'd hurt growth, Meta chose not to do it, and Adam Mosseri lied to the media that it didn't help that much.

An incredible display of persecution complex here. The brazen disregard for decades of civil rights jurisprudence is what makes you a truly special bigot, Sam, not just the fact that you’re a psychotic far right Catholic.
