RT Wonders What the 'West' Wants You to Forget
RT's curated list of what the 'West' wants to forget – Gaza, Nord Stream, and Ukrainian 'golden toilets' – is a masterclass in selective outrage. While Western media certainly has its blind spots, RT's complaint conveniently overlooks how outlets like itself also craft narratives, often by exaggerating real grievances or fabricating others, particularly around figures like Volodymyr Zelenskyy
(who, while leading a nation plagued by corruption, is not known for personal 'golden toilets' outside of Kremlin propaganda). The focus on 'golden toilets' distracts from the undeniable and well-documented devastation in Gaza, a critical topic that RT handles with a detached, geopolitical framing, rather than focusing on the humanitarian catastrophe. The real issue isn't just Western omission,
but the global echo chamber of state-backed narratives. When RT criticizes 'the West' for forgetting Gaza, it's rich, considering RT's own selective coverage of humanitarian crises or their portrayal of Ukrainian resistance. The forgotten story here is how easily different state media organs manipulate crises to suit their geopolitical agendas, while true accountability for civilian suffering
remains elusive. One might wonder who funds the research for these convenient narratives.
