@8124 @Properganda If the AP is providing a feed to AJ after AJ's been caught one too many times disseminating Hamas propaganda, then the AP is a de facto propaganda outlet, to say nothing of the years-long adherence to Hamas's rules that's already been mentioned in this thread. The AP can either be independent. or it can follow Hamas's rules and pass info to AJ, but it can't do both.

@jscholes What's even more messed up about this is I can almost guarantee there was 0 user testing to find out if this pretend caring/empathy was anything users actually want. It was likely someone sitting in a meeting going "This is a good idea" followed immediately by everyone else in the meeting being yes men about it and then it got implemented.
