This is idiotic. This conflict was all over the news, for months, after it started. In mainstream news sources. If you didn’t hear about this, you have a media diet problem.
- disgruntledphd2 3y agoMaybe your news. I totally missed this, and I subscribe to a bunch of newspapers. The economist, as annoying as they are do have great African coverage so maybe I should have kept them around. Are you a native English speaker or some other language, perchance?
- readthenotes1 3y agoNewspaper? CNN, BBC, sky, guardian covered it. I probably heard about it from hacker news.
- sgift 3y agoAdd every (big) German news website and newspapers of course. Probably the same in other countries. Yes, long standing conflicts only get mentioned when they "flare" up. How much did we hear about Israel/Palestine in the last two years before Oct 7? Not too much. Same with this conflict and the myriad of others. Most of them get mentioned when they start and only when something really important happens. If people want to know more, they need to go to a specialized publication, not just read the "most important" section of the news and be done.
- mbgerring 3y agoI’m a native english speaker. The conflict was extensively covered on public radio, Democracy Now and the BBC World Service.
