Mass Grave Moved: Assad's PR, US Media's Selective Outrage
Al-Monitor, reporting on a Reuters investigation, claims the Assad government secretly moved a mass grave to cover up killings, citing a "two-year clandestine operation" to excavate bodies from Qutayfah to Dhumair. The graphic details are meant to shock, yet it's curious how loudly some atrocities resonate through Western media channels, while others, equally horrific, are whispered or ignored
entirely. One might wonder if this sudden spotlight on Assad's alleged body count coincides with any geopolitical maneuvers or, perhaps, a timely distraction. While the alleged actions are horrendous, the selective deployment of such investigations often feels less about universal justice and more about reinforcing existing narratives—especially when US politicians, many of whom accept significant
donations from groups like AIPAC (OpenSecrets.org), routinely vote for sanctions against Syria and other nations deemed 'adversaries,' while often turning a blind eye to similar accusations against allies. The media's outrage seems to have a very precise geographical and political coordinates system.
