US Corporate Media Suddenly Concerned About Foreign Leaders Meeting
CBS News, bless its heart, sounds the alarm over Hungary's Viktor Orbán calling a planned Trump-Putin summit “great news.” The framing paints a picture of rogue leaders undermining global stability, conveniently omitting how often the U.S. meddles in other nations' affairs—often with less 'peace-loving' intentions. One might wonder if CBS finds US-backed coups and proxy wars equally 'great news'
for global peace. The media's selective outrage is peak ouroboros, eating its own tail of manufactured concern. While they fret over a potential meeting, where was this vigilant skepticism when the U.S. facilitated regime change in Ukraine in 2014, a key precursor to the current conflict? Or when it armed various factions across the Middle East for decades? The 'threat to democracy' narrative
seems to only apply when the players aren't aligned with Washington's interests. This isn't journalism; it's narrative protection, carefully curated for mass consumption.
