Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Houthi rebels in Yemen, and militias in Iraq and Syria.
Whenever western media outlets speak of these groups they seem to prefix the term Iranian-Backed.
I'm starting to raise my eyebrows a bit at how universally the term is being used. It feels almost mandated. My understanding is these are indeed supported financially and materially by Iran, but they also very much operate independently. So the extent of the relationship is unknown or at least debated.
Does this strike anyone else as odd or suspicious? Is this use fair and justified?
My mind can't help but wander to the laying of a propaganda foundation for direct conflict with Iran.

The Escapist magazine's entire video team has either been fired or resigned

This is breaking news and I'm no journalist, so bear with me here.
It looks like a bunch of people at The Escapist were fired earlier today (one, two, possibly more). In response, the entire rest of the video team has quit (including Yahtzee, plus all the rest)
The video team has plans to go independent. From their new Discord, they made this statement (from Nick Calandro):
I was fired from The Escapist along with many others today, and in response the entire video team, including Yahtzee, has resigned from The Escapist.
Our plan is to go independent, but we will share more plans on that later this week.

Multi-source journalism subscriptions? Also, seeking recommendations for sources.

Every few months I get the itch to support journalism and expand my news from the low quality high fluff news sources that tend to be free and subscribe to some long-form sources of news, opinion, and investigative journalism, but every time I go through the same process of pricing subscriptions, struggling to decide which one, and then finally just giving up and not subscribing to any of them.
If money was no object I'd probably subscribe right now to:
- The Atlantic
- The New Yorker
- Harpers
- The Economist
- National Review
- WSJ
- NYT
(trying to focus on a variety of political leanings, but mostly from generally high-factuality sources)
I like Apple News+ in concept, and the price is decent, but after a trial subscription I felt like the UI was difficult to navigate, difficult to search and filter, and the news sources were still a subset of the entire publications. I also have to wonder whether the journalists are sufficiently compensated by Apple or whether they get pennies compared to a direct subscription.
So, I come here seeking recommendations -- perhaps somebody here has found a good solution to this problem?
