Alphabet is a huge supporter of Israel, and Google employees were fired for making their displeasure known for Google's uncritical support of a genocidal, illegally occupying nation state. Not surprising, to me.

No she's really like that. A first gen double minority eta: American, former teacher, former Sikh Did nothing for women except mostly performative domestic violence law tweaks, nothing for schools or teachers, nothing for minorities or immigrants. Married decently, got hers, the rest of y'all need to bootstrap it. Oh we stole your boots? They're really ours because we allow you to exist. Fealty, peasants!
Taking a moment to thank the creators of Lemmy, who get boatloads of abuse and zero appreciation from the commie/tankie haters. I don't always agree with their politics, I do on enough, but fact is, none of us would be here, without them.

I meant the Times of Israel. And wrt the NYT, they aren't particularly credible on certain topics. Sorry just taking a quick break from my work, and I'm not entirely with the subject, but your inquiry is valid, so I wanted to not ignore you.
It's not always the journalists' fault. Ultimate responsibility, regardless of fault, lies with the editor.
That said, most large news organizations are beholden to monied interests, and ethical journalism is all but dead, excepting a very few independent news sources that don't rely heavily on all would -be advertisers or donors.

United States could take a lesson or few, here. Sorry, I know this isn't about that and am not trying to hijack the thread; I just can't help but notice glaring differences when both major parties are dumpster fires.
This whole thread was awesome. Thanks, feddies! Sincerely, a real female (way too old to call myself a girl, but in threads like this, I feel like one!)
Thanks! I guess if I'm honest, I'm old, but my mind kind of flip-flops on whether it is old, so I usually opt for "female" when not assuming age (mine or anyone else's. Some women get nasty when you use a term that isn't their preferred category--and in my area, have the nerve to be offended when someone has preferred pronouns!).
