So as most of you know the plague of ISIS has existed on this earth for some time and has been the focus of alot of hate. This hate has led to a number of news reports that personally i feel have now become propaganda pieces based on word from mouth rumors or something that is insanely common in war. Nothing to substantiate it but hate. The most recent example is the ISIS fighters being hit by flesh eating disease.

The report itself says that the disease was common before ISIS rise to infamy and among the populace. So the concept that ISIS fighters have become the focus of this disease and have been infect  in huge numbers by this disease or parasite is anything but a play on words on something based on some truth yet overblown to mean something else.

If anything this could actually be an example of the state of modern journalism where a simple concept or news story is being overblown to represent something that it is not. Mainly an exaggeration and a hype train. The deterioration of modern journalism in mainstream media and the rise of underground news site like VICE with their dispatches.

Still is ISIS a useful way for sites to get viewership?

And what is your view of modern journalism?

Finally what are your go to news sources?

Two other propaganda articles that I know of with no basis in reality involve IS executing dozens of youth for watching a soccer game, and another one of some pissed off (I think Syrian) civilian who just pulled an assault rifle on a group of IS soldiers and gunned them down.

Modern Journalism has been in the gutter for a while now, I kind of just enjoy going along for the ride.

The idea that ISIS is currently being ravaged by Ebola, Bubonic Plague, Necrotising Fasciitis and Dyssentry is an enjoyable one. Will I ever know if it's actually true or not? Nope. Will I care if it is or isn't? Not really.

On the other hand, what can be demonstrated as real with ISIS?
Nothing but atrocity after atrocity after atrocity. You can find a video of an ISIS chap brutally murdering a bunch of civvies within about 10 seconds of googling. Pictures, Videos and EWT abundant of the horrors they are enacting. Does any of this serve any purpose other than to piss you off, spread hatred and fear of them, perpetuate their disgusting ideals? Nope. Maybe fapfolder material for some sick bastard but beyond that it's nothing.

So then you hear that after ISIS have finished the rapetrain of saws, knives and axes on all of the doctors who went to the region to help everyone, they start getting fucked up by nasty diseases? That's a nice little bit of cosmic karma, it restores people's faith in the balance of things in a sick way <.<

So even if it is indeed fake, that doesn't mean that it's valueless >.>

Very little about what goes on in Syria will ever have an impact on the lives of those outside it, so balancing out the shite pumped onto the internet by ISIS's propaganda machines with propaganda from opposing sources is fine by me.
