Oh, the guy who rightfully condemned Assad as awful (to say the least) but then magically changed his tune completely after Putin had a nice sponsored dinner with him and getting a girlfriend who works for RT?Yup
Jewish, lived in Israel, independent journalist that scans Hebrew news daily and looks into everything. Thus: an expert on the subject.
That guy? He's an expert in grifting, sure. I'll give you that. Then again it doesn't take much to con someone whose brain operates on an 'if makes US or its allies look good -> bad and false, if makes US opponents look good -> good and true' flowchart. Independent journalist who has openly accepted state sponsored money and goods. Lmao.
No wonder you admitted to basically only watching CNN pre-October 7th. It shows.

Supporting Palestine and condemning Israel's brutal genocide does not require abandoning all critical thinking. Obviously there are serious issues with mainstream media, but there is no need to protend that real or perceived independency magically does not suffer from any of those issues. That's arguably just as dumb, if not more so, than blindly consuming anything CNN writes.
It's being aware of the issues in media, but then at the same time knowingly not applying any standard whatsoever to media reporting if it is independent or perceived as such.
