It's clear the Texas Tribune has picked a side from inserting an adjective into "The Oct. 7 terrorist attack, and ensuing assault on Gaza ..." I have very little remaining faith in U.S. media, corporate or otherwise. If you need a narrative with a clearly defined "good" and "bad" side, you probably aren't going to get much out of a Gaza story in the first place.
Imagine! "Extended political discourse" on a university campus. Can't have that!
How is that "picking a side"? It's possibly the mildest neutral way of writing about what happened, as opposed to something like "The Oct 7. freedom fighter operation, and ensuing pacification of Gaza", or similar.
"The Oct. 7 attack."
If you are surprised that the Texas tribune is biased then I have disappointing news for you for every outlet that ends in tribune.
Surprised overall? Of course not. Surprised they'd choose this overt demonstration thereof? Absolutely.
They are literally playing to their audience though. This is what any tribune does. It's in the name tribune.
You do realize not all Tribunes worldwide are part of Tribune, right? You're doubling down here, and that makes me wonder.
One of the definitions of Tribune: an official in ancient Rome chosen by the plebeians to protect their interests.
It's literally in the name. It has nothing to do with what Tribune Publishing is. It's a definition of the English language.
Could you elaborate on what issue you take with that headline? Genuinely confused here.
Not the hed. The adjective in the body.
