  • I'm wondering if I might be able to show you a couple of headlines and get your reaction to them.

  • UN rejects resolution calling for immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

  • U.S. blocks resolution calling for immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

  • Rejects versus blocks.

  • And UN versus U.S.

  • Maybe like lots of different nations rejected this thing but U.S. blocks is like, no it was America.

  • Like the whole world doesn't want to come to peace or compromise.

  • Where this one makes it seem like it's just the U.S. that doesn't want to compromise.

  • I think you could look at this in the headline.

  • People will post the headline and say like they don't want a ceasefire.

  • But the context is they don't want a ceasefire given the terms of the agreement.

  • This makes it feel more anti-peace.

  • What about the added context that the vast majority of UN nations supported the resolution?

  • Yeah.

  • I see.

  • Okay yeah that makes a big difference.

  • When most of them wanted to.

  • You're right they both leave out very important detail which 10 votes against and 145 in favor right.

I'm wondering if I might be able to show you a couple of headlines and get your reaction to them.
