Compare it to the Soviets shooting down Korean Air Lines Flight 007 in 1983. Chomsky writes, "For the month of September 1983 alone, the New York Times index—the very densely printed index of articles that have appeared in the Times—has seven full pages devoted to this story. That's the index, for one month alone. The liberal Boston Globe on the first day of coverage had its first ten full pages devoted to that story and nothing else."
That's what a peep looks like.
What do you think would happen if Iran were to shoot down an American commercial flight in US waters/airspace with hundreds of families on board?
- akamaka 10y agoThe phrase "nary a peep" means "never one single small sound". The context of this discussion is about entirely unreported drone strikes, not the number of pages devoted to a front page incident. Your points are fair, but there's no need to start an argument over misreading what the parent comment what trying to say.
- mistermann 10y agoThis seems a bit disingenuous to me, without your parent's comment I for one would have had a misleading perception of the reality (assuming that comment is true, is it not?).
