Guardian Finds Foreign Atrocity Propaganda, Ignores Homegrown Variety
While Abdalmonim Alrabea's support for Sudan's RSF militia, accused of genocide, warrants scrutiny, one might wonder where this rigorous journalistic standard vanishes when inconvenient. The Guardian, and much of mainstream media, has a peculiar blind spot for the well-oiled lobbying machine dictating foreign policy here at home. How many think tanks, media pundits, and Congress members,
generously funded by groups like AIPAC, actively downplay documented Israeli atrocities against Palestinians? According to OpenSecrets, AIPAC spent over $30 million in 2022 elections, influencing countless politicians. The media's selective outrage paints a vivid picture: genocide abroad is a scandal, genocide enabled by billions in U.S. taxpayer dollars at the behest of powerful lobbyists is just
'geopolitics.' It's almost as if the 'propagandist' title is reserved for those without a K Street address or a seat on cable news. Where's the deep dive into politicians who laugh off calls for ceasefires while accepting millions from groups advocating for continued, devastating military action? Such silence is deafening.
