I'm not sure that's relevant. It's the US which presents itself as the
cradle of freedom and democracy which we want to export to the rest of the
world and it is the US that claims to have a free press which accurately
reports world events. Other than Israel, no other country in the US claims
that image for itself. The Mid East has been divided up by western countries
for a few centuries. Like most of the world, it has been dessamated by
Colonialism. It makes no sense to hold our victims to our standards.

Hi Miriam,
Yes, it is disgusting how the American Wall Stream media ignores the
bombings and killings such as those described in Greenwald's article. But, I
wonder how deaths here are covered in the Middle East. For instance, how
much do those living in the Middle East know about the Boston Marathon
bombing of 2013?
