Who's silent on this? It's easily the biggest story on the planet right now.

A lot of people are denying that it's a genocide, despite all the obvious facts. And those people are the ones in power in many western countries.

Outside of the internet, mainstream media is very silent on the actual goings on for the most part

I don't watch much cable news but whenever I see it on, there's coverage of this. The radio show I listen to touches on multiple facets of it daily.... seems like we live in different eco systems.

This is the beauty of not consuming any MSM: you can believe it has said or not said anything you need it to have in order to confirm your beliefs.

MSM confirmed the existence of unicorns!

Granted i don't bother with much mainstream media myself so I guess I'm saying it in a way that of the parts of mainstream media that often bubble up their way to me, I've not really heard much recently

What mainstream media are you referring to exactly?

Or perhaps you're trying to say that US media is silent on it? Because there's a lot more news organisation's than just US ones.

I'm from the UK so no, not US

BBC would be considered "mainstream" then, no? How have you not seen their articles?

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

BBC make online articles about everything and anything. I guess they would be considered mainstream but I was specifically thinking outside of the internet. But I'm just making excuses now so it doesn't really matter, guess I've just not seen as much as others have recently or just not realised the sources for what I have seen.
