This is honestly the first time I’ve seen pretty much anything about it.

      Seems like it hasn’t been this bad since when Bush launched Iraq war 2… basically every major city in the US and Europe had huge protests, and it got almost exactly 0 coverage outside of local news covering your local city.

      Now all the local news in the US are just Sinclair subsidiaries/franchises.

      I don’t think it’s the propaganda machine (or maybe this is), but in the US, almost nothing is reported from other countries. If 100,000 people died in some wild natural disaster outside the US, we would get almost no real details, but we would get the full life story of the one American that was killed who was from New Jersey. It’s just the way our media is. No real information. Just dumb sap stories.

      It’s the same reason the Republicans haven’t been able to identify when they’re ingesting blatant Russian propaganda. They’ve never seen or heard it before outside of their favorite American talking head.

        Meanwhile in the rest of the world the news was flooded with information surrounding Trump. It’s a weird time we live in.
