A hundred times yes. AP is inseparable from US imperialism. It projects the Pentagon's version of reality to a global audience. Through sheer volume it floods the airwaves to the detriment of other countries' own news agencies, sets the agenda, and is integral to US hegemony, as soft power.

This isn't reddit, but lemmy.ml, as in Marxism Leninism, and I'm too tired to go hunting for basic media imperialism 101 articles to argue on the internet because some guy said "src plz". The source is me, ok. This is not an academic paper, go find your own sources if you wanna dig in. I'll even help you out: Google Scholar the terms "associated press" and imperialism and soft power. Or better yet, just fucking read Lenin's Imperialism, highest stage of capitalism. This is basic shit that anyone from of the 50+ countries US empire has invaded knows.
News flash: they’re all biased, written by biased humans, edited by biased humans, etc etc.
Meme out of the way:
Overall, we rate the Associated Press as left-centered biased due to left-leaning editorializing of news stories and frequently conducting fact checks on conservatives. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a reasonable fact-check record.

The way these articles are written is designed to invoke anger. They repeat past events as if they happened yesterday and provide little information.
Anyway, curious that "Hamas claimed the three men as members, calling the operation “a cowardly assassination.” " is missing from the Al Jazeera article. It's a damn mystery, I tell you.
The greater mystery is why you failed to mention this line from the AJ article
"Hamas confirmed that Jalamneh was one of its members. The Jenin Brigade, which includes a number of Palestinian armed resistance groups, said in a statement that two of the three men were members of Islamic Jihad."

Isn't this what Israel accuses Hamas of doing? Every accusation is a confession, and attacking inside a hospital is hardcore terrorism.

As expected from a nation that were founded by terrorism.

It's not surprising, remember during the pandemic when those videos surfaced of Israeli soldiers shooting Palestinian medics and civilians?
Dreamer@lemmy.ml · 27 pts · 2y
They've been doing this since at least 2002.
Linkerbaan@lemmy.world · 29 pts · 2y
I made a post about this on /combatfootage(NSFL). This is way worse than the post suggests.
The IDF dressed up as medics and civilians and executed a person lying on a hospital bed. It’s a new war-crime world record.
Additional new safe for work video footage here
The moment the IDF goes into the patients chamber for their hospital assasination is at 1:13
More info: This happened at 05:30AM while they were sleeping.
The IDF shot all three men through the head in their sleep simultaneously and did not try to arrest them.

This is what would happen when there is no armed resisance group for the Palestininans.
DarkGamer@kbin.social · -25 pts · 2y
This is what happened because of "armed resistance groups."

Meanwhile the top story on lemmy.world is a Russian figure skater getting disqualified. What a fucking joke.

You can thank the Israeli propaganda apparatus. They're everywhere

So, Israel can pull off a precision operation without blowing up a hospital and killing thousands of innocent civilians…
…interesting…

Isn't this what Joker did in Dark Knight.
Dressed up as a nurse, reached Harvey, took a bus full of hostages, blew up the hospital, then had his goons disguised as the hospital staff.

Using military force in an area you occupy is illegal. Why didn't Israel do police work?
SloppyPuppy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
This is police work. This is yamas unit. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamas_(Israel_Border_Police_unit)

Oh, thanks for the link.
Reading that this is something Yamas does regularly sounds like it would be terrifying to Palestinians.

You consider the Associated Press a biased source?
Linkerbaan@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 2y
I think he's making fun of the fact that people don't seem to take Aljazeera seriously despite them having been very factual in this conflict.

I don’t know what to tell you. To not be familiar with Chomsky’s or Parenti’s work is to lack basic media literacy, which, to be fair, is most people.
If you don’t want to read a book, you might start with the video documentary: Manufacturing Consent Noam Chomsky and the Media (Documentary) 1080p
