Funny how the protests in Iraq aren't getting much coverage

[malaise]

400 people have been killed in anti-government protests since August

[triron]

1. Media has been told.

[malaise]

2. Apparently about Pensacola as well

[Wellstone ruled]

3. This was the Media's

propagandize War. All those platitudes about a walk in the park are now coming back to bit them in the ass. They peddled the all the false narratives about WMD's,Babies in Incubators and secret Chemical labs in order to have access to Bush and Cheney,now that the counter predictions are coming true,forget about it,nothing to see,no shinny object to report as breaking news.

4. Yep - they share this mess with

Bush, Cheney, Condi et al

[Kaleva]

5. Even here at DU, there is little interest in it.

6. I see lots of coverage on The BBC, CBC and The Guardian...

[SterlingPound]

7. I see more coverage of our impeachment herings on the BBC

then I do ABC CBS NBC its a crime and they wonder why Americans are so uninformed

[triron]

9. Our media: It's a partisan thing.

[crickets]

8. K&R for visibility

[Igel]

11. Impeachment's the big issue.

It's crowding out most other things.

Bolivia? Meh.

Iraq? Bleah.

What's going on in Brazil? Nah.

I know, the ongoing election interference! Oh, it's Australia. And China. Never mind.

Fires? Climate change, urbanization? Nopity.

Huawei? C'mon, now.

Outside of the US, where there's a bit more perspective; or in the US, where it's not partisan news all the time, there's more about them. Including things like the attack on the Iranian embassy/consulate in Najaf. It's not "anti-US" this time, it's anti-Iranian in nature to a large extent (with the usual economic "how dare you raise the cost of _______&quot . Of course, if it's not anti-US, that also means it's less important (and if it's anti-Iranian, it's even less important.)
