You're doing yourself a "disservice" following only Western media

During their coverage of the escalating tension in Ukraine, Western media have exposed their racism, white supremacy, and hypocrisy

Part 6 - Media and double standards

 

On this matter, Gretchen King, assistant professor of communication and multimedia journalism at the Lebanese American University, described what we're seeing these days with the so-called free social media as "a lockdown of censorship that fulfills a western agenda for Western allies."

King said, "We see the amplification of the Ukrainian point of view, and that will continue as long as our social media spaces and as long as Western media continue to follow the agendas of Western governments because their media are not free."

She made it clear that people should be "mindful of the social media spaces and recognize that these platforms are not free platforms and are full of censorship."

Moreover, she indicated that social media companies tend to selectively degrade non-West online information and to further censorship tactics that are already there through algorithms that force content down.

King compared the ongoing censorship on Russian media to the Western media coverage and restrictions imposed on Palestinian accounts, especially during the Israeli occupation's latest war on the Gaza Strip in May 2021, stressing that "it's extremely important for people to remember the last war on Palestine that the Western media didn't care until rockets were fired from Gaza."
