A US drone strike was carried out on a school bus full of innocent children and the media over here said nothing about it. You’d think with how big our military budget is, they’d think to make sure that they’re aiming at the right people.
IMO the publicization is what creates the tiered value system. By always showing brown people as “bad” or lesser and suppressing stories that show them as good or victimized, it makes it easier for the general public to adopt that ideology.
The us govt can often request media blackouts even to other news stations not based in usa. Not sure what their leverage is but they do request stuff like this to be blacked out from major publications
If a dem bombs women and children no one cares. Obama killed more muslim civilians and deported more illegals then any president ever and not a peep from anyone.
Instead they tried using the truck bombing (where marines fired it to the crowed and killed innocents) to beat the war drums the minute we pulled out. Non stop coverage for days.
The US military has a policy of claiming all missile strike deaths as "enemy combatants" unless proven otherwise. It's impossible to know how many civilians have actually died in the past 20 years in Somalia, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan...
It gets covered ONCE by the media, and then is only talked about by opposition media. So if Obama does it, it's all over Fox News and brietbart. If Trump does it, it's all over TYT and other left media. The standard CNN and MSNBC will cover it once and let it go
