Someone recently pointed out the incongruity between the English wikipedia article about the "Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion" and the Arabic Wikipedia article about the "مجزرة مستشفى المعمداني" (Baptist hospital massacre). Without sidelining the thread discussion with unproductive arguments about the conflict, I found it really fascinating how the two articles can paint such different pictures, just by picking different sources or in some cases even using the same sources but organizing the information differently (eg which disputed facts get to be in the article's infobox)
- justinbaker84 3y agoThat is exactly what I see most of the time in high quality discourse around current events. People pick the items they want to emphasize or de-emphasize and that is what creates different narratives.
- Mr_Minderbinder 3y agoThe Portuguese Wikipedia version of the Macau article (last I checked) reads like a historical adventure novel and is chock full of nationalist propaganda, endlessly praising certain officers and soldiers for their "bravery" and service to "national prestige".
