Seems like an OK definition of primary vs. secondary sources (which itself is kind of academic; what you’re really looking for is reliability).
The part to me is “here’s a video of them in Hamas captivity, here’s a still of them dead from a block away, this totally means Hamas killed them (despite an abundance of violence in a tiny area, with a background of indiscriminate Israeli bombing).” Anyone drawing a conclusion about who killed them is working off their priors.
Well they’ve not finished the PhD have they. Any moron can start a PhD and be too stupid to finish it.

Hey! Give yourself a little credit! Some of us morons would never dream of even attempting a PhD. I think you’re awesome.
Well, they probably have an Economics degree. Don’t beat yourself up.
I dug through the reddit comments and it’s a cross discipline CS and “Digital Media Studies” degree lol
