I think quite a bit. I can argue this the other way, though. Why do people on the right, especially on this board, question EVERYTHING from MSM - except with respect to this subject? She's a total communist, but this is one thing Caitlin Johnstone beats on with respect to "rightists."

Israel/Gaza is interesting because there is a split in how people think they are being lied to/presented with info/gaslit/whatever. Most of the right seems to think MSM is just regurgitating Hamas propaganda. The alt media guys think MSM is in the bag for Israel. It's not just the alt left like Max Blumenthal, Aaron Mate, Chris Hedges, Michael Tracey, Greenwald, Dore, etc. It goes to former CIA guys like Ray McGovern and Larry Johnson, academics like Jeffrey Sachs and John Mearsheimer, the Duran (a popular international podcast), and the libertarian/anti-war type guys.

Matt Taibbi had been silent on most of this, but had a good pod about it. Much it is behind a paywall, but this gives you the flavor:
