You do understand the difference between reporting on understood facts and reporting on reasonable conclusions, right?
People can put one and one together to draw a conclusion, but it's actually a boon for journalists to independently verify what they report on. If you don't believe this, there are a number of conservative news outlets that may appeal to your need of reporting of unverified conclusions.
So here's my big issue with what you're saying.
When you say
I look and see that the article currently says:
"BUT INTERNET, THEY MODIFIED THE ARTICLE ONCE IT GOT POPULAR!" you'll say.
To which I refer you to the earlier archive.org snapshot of this very same article that mentions neither Hamas hostages nor Palestine/Gaza.
So it seems your beef is neither with the initial release of an article, nor the current state, but instead with a random snapshot of a developing story, which is simply silly. The initial article from archive.org does not have the issue you don't like, and any argument you have for "further modifications of the article having more weight" automatically apply to the current versions of the article that does talk about Gaza.
Then they "confirmed it was Aaron" and still made no mention of his motives. And they added a nice line about Hamas hostages. Really needed that. Then they got called out and actually included the quote.
Even current version of the article is propaganda. They claim they quote his social media but replace the word "Genocide" with 'War".
Then they addressed the very thing you have an issue with.
Do you not understand how developing stories are updated?
The current version cites his post to show that it was a protest against the Gaza war.
It is not quote of his post.
Look man, if you're going to look for every opportunity to victimize yourself, you do you.
The fact of the matter is the initial post did not have what you struggle with. The current version does not have what you struggle with.
You're trying to paint this as a propaganda piece by cherry picking a point in time that fits your argument, which, if you need to do, go for it. I just want you to recognize that's what you're doing.
What? They are still twisting words to dance around the fact it is Genocide. And they are framing the personal opinion of Aaron as if he does not think it is Genocide.
And this is after supposedly carefully examining his "social media post" which uses the word Genocide not war
There only one cherry picking is you by saying "Oh look near the bottom of the article where the majority of readers already close the page do they mention Genocide"
Jesus Christ.
Most of your arguments literally refer to a state of the article that does not exist anymore, and you're accusing me of cherry picking by referring to a part of the article that does?
This is some trump "NO PUPPET NO PUPPET YOURE THE PUPPET" shit right here lol.
You do you man. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. I hope you have a day as good or miserable as you want it to be.
