The New York Times wants contextualization and background for the portrayal of colonialism

"As France is celebrating V-E Day and the surrender of Nazi Germany, Algerian nationalist marchers in Sétif are massacred by French soldiers stationed on balconies and rooftops, who open fire without warning. These scenes of French colonial oppression are portrayed without any background or shading."  Now I understand why the paper insists on "background and shading" for stories of Israeli massacres.  (thanks Richard)
