I noticed a massive decrease in coverage of attacks and deaths in Gaza and fewer suggesting genocide is occurring after the new administration took over. No more in depth coverage of insane Israeli politicians like before either. Used to be I would hear at least one interview a week with Palestinians in hospitals or aid organizations, but not recently.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Where have you noticed this? What are you suggesting is going on?
Not OP but... Lemmy, Tiktok, even mainstream media itself. There was clearly an agenda to make Biden look bad and Trump look good.
I dunno, man. That would be a massive, coordinated effort—and lemmy is such a small community. Like 300,000 active users. So someone targeted this super niche platform? That’s just so unlikely.
TikTok, yeah. I could see multiple fronts pushing their own ideas, but to have one coordinated effort? It just doesn’t really seem feasible. Neither of us have proof of it happening or not, I’m just saying. It might be a little bias showing.
Edit: this is the kinda shit that scares me. People with generally the right worries, the right ideas of Justice and righteousness, seeing someone say something that doesn’t 100% fall in line with the magical reasoning something could, possibly be happening, you turn on them? Insane. You all need to learn some fuckin nuance. Learn that things aren’t black and white. Saying “hey, that doesn’t sound feasible” or “is there really any proof of that?” does not mean people disagree with your overall values.
It’s just crazy shit. I can’t even describe what makes it so disillusioning that otherwise smart and seemingly good people do this kind of shit. It’s just…sad. Are we really so segmented between ourselves and so goddamn uniform in our ideas that someone saying there is no proof of a wild conspiracy theory—even if we are all hoping for the same outcome—makes people turn against others who don’t 100% align with our ideas? It’s just depressing, man.
nazis proud to be nazis, the worst possible decay
