Why do you need "Zionist corporate" in that post? Any media calling this a "preemptive strike" are pushing a bs narrative.
Because corporate media in the West, especially the US and UK complies with Zionist talking points.
And? What about non-Zionist non-corporate sources that back the same narrative? Would you see that as any different?
Non corporate i.e. independent news tends to have clearer perspectives on the genocide and Zionism's malign influence in domestic and international politics
One example is not adopting Zionist talking points and perspectives (e.g. rapes, beheaded babies), without critical analysis or framing October 7th in the context of the Zionist regime's occupation of Palestine. Something Corporate media deliberately obfuscates.
Corporate media uses rhetorical shielding like the use of the passive "Palestinians killed in bombings" to avoid blaming Israel or "Hamas run health ministry" to discredit casualty reports.
Another issue is that they also fail to report what Israelis actually tell their people ("fighting human animals", "babies are targets") and rather rely on carefully scripted official responses in English.
Yet another issue is that they do not mention ICC arrest warrants on Netanyahu and Smotrich, or that Israel is on trial for genocide at the ICJ, or Indeed that western countries are ignoring the genocide convention which obliges them to sanction Israel and instead are actively arming and supporting it.
They omit so much given what's on social media and elsewhere that it has never been more obvious that Western media's role is to act as interlocutor and propagandist for the Empire.
