As our hearts go out to the
families of the victims of MH017, I cannot but feel deep disappointment –yet
again- with the main stream media.
As was the case with MH370 a few
months ago, the MSM seem more interested in turning all of those families’
grief into ratings and newspaper sales, than in asking the difficult and
relevant questions.
Like: Why is nobody talking about
the possibility of an air-to-air missile?
Like: How can this bloody war be
stopped at once?
Like: What’s going to prevent
this from happening again?
Like: What are these ‘world
leaders’ marching us towards with their macho talk?
The MSM claim to know who pulled
the trigger.
At this point, I distrust anything
they seem to state with apparent conviction.
They turned the previous Malaysian
disaster into a circus and they’re doing it again.
Is it any wonder the MSM is on
the backfoot with newspaper sales dwindling and more and more people turning away
from corporate outlets?
It is sickening to see
blood-soaked headlines on tabloids seeking to capitalise on this atrocity.
When it comes to the media asking
the right questions, we’re all alone.
When it comes to governments and
the media preventing wars rather than fuelling them, we’re all alone.
But when it comes to grieving the
innocent victims of military brutality, people stand together; because human
lives are what really matters to us; and there are many guilty parties and no
easy answers.
