Damn, the top one doesn't even really look like a modern TV, either. It's like they tried to update it while trying to do it in a way that most people didn't notice. What a cop out.

At 8:30 p.m. Thursday, after signing off from a live report on Gaza's soaring death toll, Abu Hatab headed to his nearby home in Khan Younis where he lived with his wife, six children, brother and brother's family, his colleagues said.

On his way, he spoke to the Palestine TV bureau chief, Rafat Tidra.

“He was so professional, as always,” Tidra said. “In that conversation, he was focused on what he was going to report the next day, how we were going to work.”

At around 9:30, an Israeli airstrike hit his house, wiping out the Abu Hatab family. No one survived. His neighbor's houses only sustained limited damage from the blast.

So was there a Hamas base under this journalist's private residence or something?!

Nixon did it below board, Carter started to legalise it.

I saw the (scumbag asshole) Israeli spokesman Mark Regev on the news, he literally tried to make out that the ambulances were Hamas. He said something like "We've seen them build infrastructure underneath hospitals, is it hard to believe they would use ambulances too?"

Channel 4 have really been on point throughout all this. Asking difficult questions from the start, and I've even seen some things on their programs before I've seen them online (not that I have my finger right on the pulse, but still).

Edit2: The whole segment is really worth a watch tbh. I saw bits I'd missed earlier when it was live. In particular, the observation that, while there have been large protests in Arab nations, they're perhaps not as big as protests in the past and in fact there have in some cases been even larger protests in Western countries.

While it's true that their stance against GMO was largely unfounded, they've generally made better calls with most things when it comes to food safety. In some sense, their stance against GMO was still valid, given that it was new technology - the real issue is how readily they move back on that when more evidence comes out.

Absolutely, I mean just look at the new privacy bill, which the very latest revision has them hijacking website certificates so they can spy on people as they please.

However, when it comes to food safety, the EU has been far ahead of the US. The US basically dismissed a bunch of concerns back in the 1970s, and outside of California they're only now just reviewing them and accepting that they aren't that great. Things under the classification "Generally Recognised As Safe", or GRAS, which are unlikely to cause accute harm when taken in normal doses, however for many of them there is strong evidence of harm when taken frequently over a long time.

Suffice it to say, food in Europe is generally of a higher quality and standard than the US, because the EU has better regulations in this field.

No it's all very, very good :)

It's the common staff who aren't really getting bonuses, the top level executives have already set their salaries high enough that they never intended to get bonuses.

Of course he's going to sidestep responsibility for staffing the border with a skeleton crew on the 50th anniversary of the last time Palestinians attacked on the Yom Kippur holiday.

Can I get this on a T-shirt? /s

Edit: Lol, seriously, does no one recognise that sunset thing as a standard feature of all those spam T-shirt scammers that would post on reddit? I don't think that's intentional from the artist, but it's still a funny coincidence.

Scum. And the chief openly tried to delete the evidence, and get the other person in the messages to delete theirs also.
