I don’t know about AP specifically, but it’s a good question.

Sometimes because the paper is financed/owned by some party that profits off of the colonial & genocidal project, sometimes because the paper gets scoops from 3 letter agencies who make such requests in return for scoops, sometimes it’s racism that the writer might not even aware of, but most often it’s a combination of those.

Media uses that tactic often, where they always platform the statements by Israel (that are very frequently lies that aren’t challenged at all even though it would be very easy to) but much less frequently from Palestinian sources. This makes it really easy for Israel to spread its narrative while Palestinians remain unheard and misunderstood.

Laws aren’t static, but the law also isn’t the only way to justice. In this case it clearly isn’t.

The point is that terrorism is only applied when it’s convenient for the ruling class. Hate crime murders are similarly politically motivated but don’t get the terrorism label.

Disgusting, these media titans should be held accountable for manufacturing consent on genocide.

Microplastics stay in the body forever, fats, carbs and salts don’t.

Double standards would be correct since EU member states send weapons to Israel that are being used to commit genocide.

I wanted to comment that car crashes are probably a more common death cause for children than school shootings, and while this might still be true, apparently gun related deaths are the largest cause of death among US children with motor vehicle crashes coming in close second. Really sad considering both causes have pretty easy fixes if the government is willing to do something about it.

People need to face the reality that currently for a lot of people it’s just not possible to escape the reality of living in financial distress and on the edge of homelessness their whole lives. Just because you know of some lucky people who were able to escape it doesn’t mean that it’s possible for everyone. It’s really demeaning to tell people to ‘work harder’ or ‘change it up’ ‘you’ll get there!’. Because you’re implying that it’s their fault if it doesn’t get better.

The only way to change this reality is to change the system we live in, and to stop letting rich people rule our economies and thus our lives.

That’s great advice in a society where most people don’t need several jobs to survive.

China’s top 1% income share is lower than US and Russia. Top 10% income share is also lower in China.

Elon Musk is an idiot.

Canada has some of the highest teen vaping rates in the world, new data shows

Nicotine users have gone way up since vaping was normalised, especially under children.

Weird, is there any explanation for it?

Subtitles don’t work, but my city has similar case where some lines are called light rails and others trams while they use the same cars. The light rails are called that because the rails are always separate from roads (except when they cross), while trams rails are sometimes placed on roads so the trams interfere with other traffic. Light rails are more reliable and faster because they can’t get stuck in traffic while trams can.

Good point. Although in my experience rich people with good education are generally very bad representatives for the working class. The people I’ve met that do the best work regarding unionisation and organising are people who learned about class struggle through personal experience.

When it comes to class struggle, the best education is lived experience.
