Biased Reporting in Geopolitical Conflicts

The speaker highlights the biased reporting in geopolitical conflicts, emphasizing how language used in reporting changes based on the group affected. They discuss how when the Palestinians are suffering, the language becomes technical and lacking emotion, in contrast to when Israelis are victims where the reporting is more empathetic. The speaker expected words like 'massacre' to appear as quotes in reporting about Palestinian deaths, but they rarely did and were mostly related to past events. The speaker acknowledges both sides suffer, but criticizes the difference in language and portrayal in the media.
