Oh boy is this ironic
- colordrops 4y agoyeah, I'm not sure if they are defending censorship to protect people, or claiming that we've been hoodwinked by censorship.
- comte7092 4y agoAbsurd? Yes. How exactly is it ironic?
- MSFT_Edging 4y agoIronic because an accurate portrayal of the news would illuminate actual atrocities/genocides that American news sources generally don't cover. Had they, from the OP's perspective, the genocides that might have happened, have happened. We just don't cover these things. Examples being considering the Korean war a genocide due to the mass assault on civilians, The right wing coup in Indonesia that led to a million members of the Communist party to be murdered, the current blockade of Yemen that has contributed to the deaths of 85,000 children. Because of how Media in the US already serves a national security interest, these things are either not spoken about, or twisted to make the US be the good guys. So to say that mainstream media accurately reporting the news would lead to genocides is silly, because the inaccurate news through the filter of natsec, helped these atrocious acts by leaving them in the dark.
