      You’ve got a giant nothing burger there don’t keep digging deeper.

      There’s a reason all serious journalists are defending Assagne and describing the case against him as a very dangerous precedent against press freedom.

              There’s no code of ethics for journalists. We just saw all our mainstream newspapers spread the blatant hoax that Hamas raped women and beheaded babies. And lied about having seen evidence. Which is now proven out doesn’t exist. On top of that they hired ex-israeli soldiers without any journalistic experience to write the propaganda story.

              You’re enthusiastically painting Assagne in a bad light because he is receiving criticism. And bringing up examples from after him being prosecuted as retroactive justification.

              Of course Russia would support his efforts. We do the exact same thing. When there’s an adversary in a country we don’t like, we support them. The Taliban and the Russians are a prime example.
