Sorry it didn't seem as important to you all as trumps wall situation.

I would like the people accusing me of showing no remorse, dehuminising people, and ignoring one thing on one side yet supporting it on the other....I want those people to check my threads created....and see my feelings on this when I brought it to tibb's attention months before the bbc did....


I wasn't the one ignoring it.......!!

[Beso]

And mods...Im also sorry for making a thread like this...but to save me from being infracted it's for the best that I respond to lots of accusation in one go..with proof of my views on the world...

I don't get hung up on America. .

Newbies especially.

There was a clip of some indigenous amazon tribes being burned out by farmers on the news a few nights back, these issues don’t get due coverage at all, like the situation in Myanmar

Things don't really get much coverage unless they have a direct political effect here, is the sad truth. So that means we get news from Europe, the Americas / Australasia (less than America though), and the Middle East.

We get a bit from China as their economic position now means things there have a global knock-on.

Absolutely **** all from the rest of Asia, or Africa, unless it happens to involve the UK or US directly (e.g. we're suddenly VERY interested in West Africa whenever the word "Ebola" creeps up). In media terms, half of the world might as well not exist.

So true, in terms of true global news, the media coverage is very limited

It's not mutually exclusive to show caring and to also dehumanise. Hitler loved dogs.
