Fears for ‘security of Jews worldwide’ in wake of Elon Musk AfD speech

[30p87@feddit.org]

I immediately noticed it, but only saw today that it isn't photoshopped but just a coincidence.

Halie Soifer, CEO of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, called the remarks “incredibly dangerous,”

I wonder when they're going to come out and call her and extreme-leftist when she's spouting such antisemitic rhetoric. After all the l"eading anti-hate organization in the world," the Anti-Defemation League, was quick to point out that Musk is just "overly enthusiastic."

it’s the job of the press to tell us what we’re seeing and why

That's a pretty dangerous way to approach other people. Journalists are just as capable of error or corruption as everyone else.

Reality is always going to be less profitable.

Traditional journalism is dead. It doesn't pay nearly enough to survive these days, not to mention the stress from being attacked by politicians and their followers.

Can it change? Yes. But that means taking down the oligarchy and capitalism.

[crapwittyname@lemm.ee]

"Antisemitic rhetoric" should be in quotes too, if you were going for sarcasm. I hope you were going for sarcasm

When I was much younger, I thought the ADL had my back. Then I found out that since I don't support Israel, they don't give a shit about me.

Now there is no one who has my back.

Yeah, I'm not technically a jew (paternal grandfather), but I have the nose, so I have to be a little careful.

[bertramditore@lemm.ee]

Of course they’re capable of error and corruption, every human being is. That’s why they ideally need institutions behind them to protect them and ensure they’re only reporting the truth. The point of a free press is to describe events as they happened and provide context, which serves as the first draft of history. They’ll certainly make errors here and there, but as long as they accurately describe reality, offer explanations based on history and uncompromising contemporary interviews, as well as promptly correct any mistakes with humility, then they’ve done their job. I don’t see how that’s the least bit dangerous.

[crapwittyname@lemm.ee]

Don't be daft lad, you're one of us now!
Anyone putting up with this fucking weather is.
2 rules:

1. Don't be a cunt.
2. See rule 1.

Anyone othering you is in breach of rule 1 and will be tutted at furiously

[hobbes_dent@lemmy.world]

They aren’t bloggers. Journalism is (was) a profession with standards and ethics. Doing what’s feasible to avoid error and corruption is part of their job and training.

They aren’t fulfilling a responsibility of the profession just like a doctor and their oaths.

[bertramditore@lemm.ee]

Unfortunately I think you’re probably right. I still have some hope left in the tank for new outlets like 404 Media and Zeteo, but in general I think you’re right.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

I look more stereotypically Jewish than Woody Allen. It has not been great.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

I will say that being in Blackburn, 30% Muslim, and looking very obviously Jewish- everyone has been very kind. (Not suggesting that being Muslim automatically makes you antisemitic, but there are, unfortunately- and thanks to Israel mainly- a fair number of Muslims that hate Jews.)

[ramblingpanda@lemmynsfw.com]

We (as in all the people, Jews obviously included) should be living in peace and happiness. The billionaire leeches should be the ones fearing consequences for their actions and greed. One day this dream might come true.

[pugjesus@lemmy.world]

Traditional journalism is dead.

Funny enough, I was just reading a book that went over, in part, journalism in late 19th century America.

It's... probably never been great. Yellow Journalism was a term that arose then, after all.

It is a problem we should address, I agree! Just... maybe honest journalism wasn't all that lively in the past either, and the population was just less capable of parsing that than we are.

If netanyahoo and the ADL are cool with nazism, then what could go wrong? \s

[technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

news was never really meant to turn a profit anyway.

Ever heard of capital? It literally creates ideological narratives for profit under a system called capitalism.

[technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

They don't even need error or corruption to be unknowingly biased, using hegemonic framing, working within capitalist/racist/patriarchical institutions, etc.

That's the far worse and far realer danger.

[technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

they ideally need institutions behind them to protect them and ensure they’re only reporting the truth.

lol you should check out who owns and runs the institutions sometime.

Welcome to humanity.
