Where is the coverage?

[MadScout]

My life has been as hectic as I can remember… without anything to do with what goes on outside my home.

But I would expect to see wall to wall coverage of the war, like with Iraq.

Where is it? Am I crazy, or is cable news all but ignoring it?

1. Staying safe I would guess. 10,000 sites have been bombed in Iran over the last 11 days.

3. the "pro-life christians" do not seem to care

why is that?

[Skittles]

2. the mainstream media is afraid of being targeted by Trump

any negative coverage (and that is all there is for this shitshow) will make them a target for his manbaby wrath

fucking cowards

9. And the way it works it doesn't even have to be Trump

Sam Kuffel was fired without Musk having to even do anything:

Colbert also blamed Paramount:

This is the world the ruling class wants and they found the guy to finally treat all of reality as a reality show. It is so fucked up.

4. No boots on the ground so nothing really for media to report on and if there were embedded reporters

like the Iraq war they would be hand picked tRump puppets who only report propaganda.

5. bbc and aljazeera show actual what is going on - attacks, results. live in real time way fewer babbling heads

msNow is almost all editorial and personal opinion and speculation

[Aussie105]

8. Al Jazeera is my go-to source for factual information.

To the US media, this is just another overseas conflict.

The average US citizen cares little, but once the price of things go up, or essentials like fuel become unavailable, they will blink and go WTF happened?

6. Because it's just a re-run,

Of famous military VICTORIES like:
Ethiopia, Stalingrad, Saigon, Normandy, The Light Brigade, The Armada, Waterloo, Gallipoli, KYIV, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Bay of Pigs, Midway, Little Big Horn, Fredricksburg, Agincourt, Gettysburg, and Leyte Gulf


What will this be named in honor of Trump?

Slaughter-Loo?
Epstiopia?
Little Pig Horn?
Armada Lago?

7. Not sure what what cable news you are watching

But msnow and cnn has been non stop coverage with a sprinkling of epstien updates. In fact I'm watching msnow at this moment and it's totally about Iran.
On a side note cnn has a reporter embedded in Iran and they have reports from him throughout the day.

10. Have you tried turning on your TV?

I seem to get plenty of it. Of course, I have satellite, so I get BBC, CNN, MS Now, CNBC (oil prices affected by the war), Al Jazeera and many more.

To find "wall to wall" coverage, all I do is turn on the TV and change channels when necessary.

11. Cable news is propaganda. Not news

It’s made for people who aren’t inclined to research raw news from various sources and then come to their own conclusions.

[Pototan]

12. Since I watch

CNN, BBC. MS NOW and Al Jazeera, as well as podcasts, like Midas Touch and Stephanie Miller, I'm guessing I get a pretty well-rounded view of the world.

I have subscriptions to the Boston Globe and the NY Times, also.

In addition, I'm 73 years old and have lived through the Viet Nam War, Watergate, Iran-Contra, and The Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. As a result, I've developed a pretty good Bullshit Radar when it comes to Government or Media propaganda.
