| That's par for the course when it comes to propaganda. It's even worse when it comes to international news. How many times has china "conquered the middle east" or "colonized africa"? A lot more than you think if you follow the news. "China's latest conquest: Middle East power broker - commentary" https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/28/chinas-latest-conquest-middl... China is "colonizing" africa. "China raises fears of 'new colonialism' with $60 billion..." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/09/03/china-invest-60-... When we actually invade and conquer the middle east, the media portrays it as "bringing freedom". When we actually colonize africa, the media portrays it as "aid". Of course it isn't just the west spreading propaganda, china does it also. It's why it comes to geopolitical or controversial events, you need a wide variety propaganda to get as honest an assessment as possible because every side lies about something and is honest about other things. |
