Victims of Western violence and terrorism

"Over the past several years, the U.S. has launched hideous civilian-slaughtering strikes in Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, Libya, and Iraq." "You’ll almost never hear any of those victims’ names on CNN, NPR, or most other large U.S. media outlets." "That’s by design. It’s because U.S. media outlets love to dramatize and endlessly highlight Western victims of violence, while rendering almost completely invisible the victims of their own side’s violence."
