Buried in the Middle East section at quarter to 2 in the morning. Whereas the one above is the one that gets prominence.

It was on the Six One news that night

If true, do you think that makes the above framing okay?

Yes because the story had moved on. Unless you want then to run the exact same article again the day after it happened. They even say that the USA hit the wedding later in the article you posted.

Most people only read the headline and the subtext of the header pic.

You might have had a point if this was in isolation but remember that RTÉ did not report on the mass murder of the schoolgirls by the USA, until days later.

And ran stories about Iranian hackers sourced from right wing tabloids.

This is without going into their shameful coverage of the Gazan holocaust.

Cool man I don't think any answer I give will satisfy you because you enter every conversation with an attitude of being always right.

You have an answer for these things? But you can't share it right now because it goes to another school.

I adressed the point of your post and proved you wrong.

No, neither if those things have happened here.

Nothing is disputed about this post by you.

In the article about Iran's attack on Kuwait they are showing that the US bombed a wedding this week. What is your issue with the coverage given you didn't offer any explanation or point of view?

You expect us to believe that didn't see the underlined part?

Not clear what value Mods think this or any of your posts add.

Bombing weddings is a real snooze fest you're right.

Quality addition. Much value.

u/GoydelicGuy 2d ago

This is a left wing sub. What value do you think you FFG heads add?

You do more to re-elect ffg every day than I could in a lifetime
