NYT WaPo and CNN all cheerlead us into wars in the middle east, same as Fox. They were slightly more subtle about it, but it was still obvious to anyone outside America's fucked up Overton window.
They're absolutely in the same category as Fox - corporate pro-war pro-fossil fuel anti-union entertainment propaganda, masked as news. Outside the narrow window of 'acceptable' debate they're essentially indistinguishable.
CNN and the NYT are covering the atrocities and war crimes in Palestine a little better than Fox. Sure. But do you know how many journalists have been fired from those companies, and from the Guardian and the BBC as well, for simply voicing mild support for Palestine? And how many more journalists have resigned, citing fucked up editorial policy?
It's simply gaslighting to say that these mouthpieces are "very good" on Palestine's suffering. It's offensively ignorant.
