Remember: Social media IS MEDIA. Breaking news consumer's handbook, @onthemedia.bsky.social

Breaking news consumer's handbook.

1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
-"We are getting reports"... could mean anything.
-"We are seeking confirmation"... means they don't have it.
-"[News outlet] has learned..." means it has a scoop or is going out on a limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.

Entirely regardless of accurate casualty numbers, I do not understand how anyone can look at this boy, know that there are hundreds of thousands of boys & girls just like him, and not acknowledge the monstrosity of this.

A month later, some report may (MAY) come out "correcting" the "error." MAYbe. And this is what Gaza looks like today. There is simply no guessing how many bodies are under the rubble Israel left behind. 📷Mohammad Abu Elseba/ZUMA/Reuters via www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

But also, as someone with years & years & gd years of experience living in, reporting on, & studying Israel/Palestine: Israel always lies about who & how many its security forces have killed. If there are, say, 5 easily observable bodies, they all become Hamas, even if they're all in lab coats.

When I was a stringer with the LA Time in Jerusalem, my correspondent called big, round numbers "metaphors," because no one was standing at the entrance to the protest or the graveyard with a counter. Estimates are educated guesses, not mathematical facts.

I am famously (because I keep repeating it) an American-Israeli Jew, and I feel it's important to note that yes, "74,000" is a largely magic number. "Magic" because 1) round numbers always are 2) Israel always lies about casualties 3) we still don't know how many bodies remain under the rubble

Dehumanized in life, to make the killing easier; dehumanized in death, to make getting away with the killing the easiest thing ever. Now, we know ICE. Now, when they kill someone, we know to doubt the story. But they've been practicing for this moment for centuries. See it for what it is. 9/9

Outside the immigrant community, there were no vigils for Silverio Villegas González, no marches. Most ppl probably couldn't tell you his name. And there's a way in which that's understandable: There were also no videos w overwhelming evidence, & we weren't all attuned to ICE's behavior yet. And 5/

B) These folks had accepted, almost certainly w/o thinking about it, not one, but two lies: 1. he'd been running away 2. since he was running away, it's ok that armed agents of the state killed him EVEN IF HE HAD BEEN—in what world is summary execution an appropriate sentence for RUNNING AWAY? 4/

It was a fairly diverse (racially, economically, age) crowd, many predisposed to distrusting, if not detesting, ICE, and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM SAID "but I heard he was running away." A) take a beat to consider how few people who'd heard the copaganda later heard the truth from someone else. 3/

🧵When ICE killed Silverio Villegas González on 9/12/2025, they'd only just gotten to the area & I knew lots of ppl weren't paying attention yet. I printed out fliers with information & resources & brought them to local businesses, esp. restaurants, & did the same at the Farmers Market the next day.
