 Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rose here bringing another video from Jerusalem as you guys can hear I have a horrible horrible cold that is stubbornly Stubbornly refusing to get better, but nevertheless, this is a video. That's important to me to make Therefore I am going to make it. So I came across I usually don't firstly Let me just preface this by saying that I usually don't do the Hasbarat thing the Defending Israel on the internet thing. It's not my thing. Why? Because I've done a whole separate vlog about this I don't think it usually is a constructive use of time people who hate Israel hate Israel and It's a bad argument to think that people who hate something on irrational grounds are going to be swayed Biologic, right? That's that's just doesn't make sense So besides second thing is I would say it's a cesspool of negativity to get into the whole fruitless Enterprise of arguing with these people Usually doesn't it's not only a waste of time, which is one thing I think it's actually probably bad for the people doing it because it drags you into a Hate filled environment Nevertheless now and again, there's something I come across on the internet that is so Greegious excuse my use of this weird word That I feel compelled to say something such as the case with this news report on The journal dot ie now for those who don't know the journal dot ie is Pretty much the main online news website I'm gonna just make myself a small bit bigger so you guys could see see my face here on the on the recording It's pretty much the main online news website in Ireland and people will say I've been seeing people on Twitter saying, you know The journal dot ie is not that big. It's actually pretty big now I'm relying on what I knew when I left Ireland seven years ago But it's pretty much like the Irish times of Israel This is not some website that high schooler is running from his mother's basement. This is a legit website that's selling you know advertising to Enterprise companies major sponsors, and it's a legit thing now Not only that but scroll down to the bottom of the journal dot ie and you guys will see that the following text Written in its footer after this Slurry of the usual anti Israel crap that gets published in the comment section on this website And it's consistently anti Israel. And by the way, and I again I use this advisably it frequently veers into transparent Transparent anti-Semitism. I don't say that all criticism of Israel is anti-Semitic But the comment section on the journal dot ie Frequently contains explicit Anti-Semitism and they do usually do nothing about it Stuff like comparing Israel to the Nazis what the Israel what the Israeli Army's doing to the Palestinians is worse than the Nazis Israel control the Jews control the world of media all this complete BS. It's Safe haven for it on the journal dot ie, but take a quick glance. I'm gonna put myself back to Microscopic here take a quick glance at the Footer of the journal lot and you can see the journal dot ie supports the work Look at this grand language of the press council of Ireland and the office of the press ombudsman and Your staff operate within its code of practice Wow You can obtain a copy of the code or contact the council at press council dot ie great So let's go on to press council dot ie and let's check out this Fantastic code of practice that the journal dot ie adheres to here we go guys up on your screen. It's free it's open source and Let me just show you what it says Principle one truth and accuracy in reporting news and information The press shall strive at all times for truth and accuracy principle 1.2 when a significant here we go guys listen carefully When it's significant in accuracy misleading statement or distorted report or picture has been published I Pause deliberately It should be corrected promptly and with due prominence 1.3 when appropriate a Retraction apology explanation or response Shall be published promptly and with due prominence term 1.4 it's not written here But I suggest that it exists and it reads as follows except in the case of reporting About Israel because when you look at this report the Irish Israel allow Alliance more than a day ago Sorry, I'm just trying to grab my cursor back into OBS studio here The Irish Israel Alliance more than 24 hours ago. So we talked about you know reasonable speed here pointed out that this headline is a Disgrace UN demands probe Now by the way for those who don't know this I Study I have actually got a degree in journalism I was initially working as a freelance journalist then I went into communications I actually worked as a summer as a copy editor So I know a thing or two about journalism and how journalism works in This instance is you can see this is wire copy. So this comes from the AFP, which is a wire agency So there's other other wire agencies like Reuters or the Associated Press the AP and Usually how it works whether we're talking about print newspapers or online newspapers is the newspapers will subscribe to a certain wire agency that gives them rights to reprint their wire reports, but the decision of how to wear the headline is Typically made by the news organization itself specifically the copy editors So when you see this here, you end demands probe into killing a valetier journalist by Israeli forces. This guy's is a fricking lie firstly When we talk about the quarter practice of the press council this is presented as an objective fact when it's not And even if we disregard that fact Right now the evidence indicates that there was a gunfire fight between the Israelis going into Janine to conduct an arrest operation of Palestinian militants and I Personally, you can dispute this Think that it's probably safe to say that the fatal shot who killed this Al Jazeera journalist emanated from armed Palestinian militants Irrespective of that the Palestinians have refused to cooperate and an Israeli investigation or for that matter a third-party investigation And there is no way anyone on earth can say that Shireen Abu Akle was killed decisively by Israeli forces. This is a flat-out lie mistruth defamation against Israel written in black and white on the journal.ie and It's been more than 24 hours since the Irish Israel Alliance pointed out that this is a barefaced lie and I've personally again Against my best instincts of getting drawn into this world of Hasbara. I've been tweeting about this and again now What's the point to make this video really there's actually no point except to say that I wanted to record for those who don't believe that there can be such a thing as Explicit anti-Israel bias in the media not surprising it comes from the journal.ie. They Frequently have explicit anti-submitted content in the comment section, but nevertheless it's educating So that's pretty much all I have to say in this video The journal.ie have had more than 24 hours to correct this they claim to subscribe to a code of practice Regulated by the press council of Ireland that demands objectivity in reporting What this demonstrates personally and if you look at the complaint process for the press council You have to be and you have to prove that you are directly affected So it's a waste of time essentially for most people by the way 34,000 people. Let me just go back to the news article here for one sec 34,000 people view this story on the journal.ie. That's the impression count here Now if you that's just people that's knowing a thing or two about digital marketing That's people who view this web page, right? That does not take into account people who viewed this headline Maintaining the lie on the home page of the journal.ie or people who view this headline on Google news or people who view this lie lying headline via RSS feeds or whatever. So I would say the amount of people that have actually viewed this this I Would say almost an inciting headline inciting a mistruth bait inciting anti-israel hatred based upon this complete mistruth at best lie at worst That israel's killed analogies are a journalist of probably three times I would estimate the 34,000 people who've actually clicked into the article and this news organization the journal.ie which claims to subscribe to the Regulatory coder practice of a completely powerless authority and is continuously filled with selective anti-israel hatred pro-israel commons routinely get deleted. It's all a crock of Rubbish, who's gonna say something else, but we'll say rubbish for now That's pretty much all I have to say guys Thank you for watching this YouTube video if you'd like to get more content for me Hopefully with a better voice next time Please subscribe to this YouTube channel
