The photographer who filmed the Israeli, Maccabi supporters attacking random people, the same footage that the media abused to paint the pro-Palestinians as the offenders, tweeted this

Now that's an integrity move from Tag.

Hang on though.

News outlets aside. All these lumps in power in the west. Our so called political leaders. What's to do with them?

Reminder: this is not the first time Biden started claiming something false as true.

[u/PeaBeginning6609 → u/twice_once_thrice]

Exactly and I agree.

What happened in Amsterdam is a “great” example of the VERY disturbing, cynical, criminal way - the international politics works , INCLUDING of course western medias way of presenting news.

With an imaginary amount of innocent blood on their hands !!

Through history, the fight for human rights have often come from the people, grass roots movements and NOT from established parties

One example that have that has actually changed things in the world not safe it but moved it in a better direction is the climate movement and the millions of people protesting- that came from one single girl Greta Thunberg starting her own protest before the Swedish parliament.

I think it’s about starting up movements with unapologetically idealistic goals - groups that slowly but steadily create more and more unapologetic pressure on political leaders.

Now when the truth came out, all the media will just ignore that news. 

If it'd really happened the way they were portraying it, they'd still be writing about it for a couple more days for sure.

I would love a parity law. For however long the news deliberately ran with the false story, they have to run the retraction AND apology for equally as long and equally as prominently.

There are some arguments to be made that news organisations can't know what the truth is all thetime but this was blatant lies. And you know it's lies because they're going to backtrack now instead of doubling-down, out of fear of legal consequences.

That is how reperations for a defamation lawsuit usually work.

It's the same exposure or greater.

Unfortunately, we have seen this game played before. How many retractions did we see with the systematic rape story or the 40 beheaded babies. The initial vitriol due to these false stories cannot simply be undone. Wish it was the case,but I find myself becoming more and more cynical.

[u/Gen8Master → u/No-Owl517]

Thats how they have operated for decades. Mainstream journalism died a long time ago.

[u/Ok-Elephant8255 → u/No-Owl517]

They do massive damage with every falsity, even if they retract statements, the damage is done. There needs to be fines and consequences for obvious blunders like completely twisting video evidence. Even if they wanted to claim Maccabi fans were victims, to misrepresent footage is a lie and they need to have journalistic licenses revoked.

Tried sharing this on the Amsterdam sub, it wasn't approved and got me banned with rule: "Doe aardig".
Crazy world we living in right now.

Almost all country and city-specific communities on Reddit were hijacked by reactionaries and white supremacists.

DW is using the video as well. Can someone post it to twitter: https://www.dw.com/de/antisemitische-gewalt-in-amsterdam/video-70739469

[u/PeaBeginning6609]

That is integrity. And we need more people like that photographer to shape the future.
