Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

You know, I think I'm okay with Israel doing bad things just this once.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 80 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You never see torture and sodomy of the press when you need it.

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 44 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I hate everyone here. It's win-win, I think.

Israel probably sees some connection to Iran and Russia, which to me has been obvious for a very long time.

I'd prefer Tucker be able to do a good thing for once.

I’ve had so many people try to convince me that Israel is like a western country with similar amount of rights and freedom.

Bahahahaha

Give it a bit of time...the assholes like Stephen Miller are trying to implement isreales fascism in the USA as quickly as they can

You know, when I wrote my comment I took a long moment trying to decide if I should exclude US from “western country”. We should come up with a new word for the common wealths and Europe

Fucker Carlson is not a journalist.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 60 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Legally he's an entertainer.

and a white nationalist, which is why he's speaking out against Isreal.

"It was bizarre. We’re now out of the country."

Booooooooo

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I mean, he's a journalist in the same way Josef Mengele is a doctor.

Carlson is fine and exited Israel. It's totally normal to be detained and interrogated upon departure from Israel. I'm not saying it's right or that Israel is cool. I'm saying this story is a nothing-burger and basically free press for Carlson's upcoming interview with Huckabee.

[–] favoredponcho@lemmy.zip 21 points 1 month ago (5 children)

It’s not a nothing-burger

"Men who identified themselves as airport security took our passports, hauled our executive producer into a side room and then demanded to know what we spoke to Ambassador Huckabee about”

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 36 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Carlson told the Daily Mail in a statement

You forgot to include the next sentence.

How much trust do you put in Tucker Carlson's word?

[–] logi@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

...or the Daily Mail?

If both have negative trust, does that multiply to trustworthy?

[–] Mantzy81@aussie.zone 21 points 1 month ago

two wrongs equal far right

I'm not so sure I agree with this.

This is not normal whatsoever. It is intimidation of journalists criticizing Israel.

You can't have two evils. They'll just fight each other for dominance. 

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Or they didn't find him evil enough.

I liked the Breaking News about Kid Rock's financial woes. Tucker and Kid can both eat poop, lousy racist bastards.

Back in my day detaining an American citizen on BS charges was a big deal. Now its a bit of a joke and our government does whatever israel wants anyway. Even though I dont wish Tucker Carlson well, clearly israel knows they can cuck us all on the world stage, while also running the Epstein operation, and we'll do nothing beyond sending them more money and bombs-- and throw them red carpet heroes welcomes when they come visit.

Oh man. Tell Aviv airport security is no joke. You will get questioned on the road to the airport and it's all business.

Too bad they didn't tar and feather Fucker Carlson.

Did he wet himself? Just asking questions.

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (2 children)

"How much did he wet himself?" That's the Tucker question style.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

He hasn't denied wetting himself. What is he hiding?

People celebrating this are engaging in the same dumbass tribalist mentality as the MAGA lot.
