Two Crusty Old Soldiers Ask: Why the Corporate Media Radio Silence on Iran? Trump got your Tongue?
from Foggy Bottom Line
Scott Konopasek and I get together for a discussion of the US media, and why we don't see more reporting on the most important thing happening in the world right now: the Iran War, which just turned hot again. Yes, SCOTUS decisions on voting and reproductive rights matter. But the central issue of the day is the Iran War and its costs, in both lives and national treasure. People are dying. Oil supplies are destroyed or constricted. Global inflation is rising as a direct result. So why don't we hear more detail about this? Is the Trump Administration withholding information? Maybe corporate media outlets worry more about profits than informing the public? Should we all move away from information sources that send us articles with an algorithm? We take a look and try to find answers while suggesting ways to dig more deeply. Don't forget to subscribe and send us a comment. We want to know what you think.
