Suppression of Anti-War Shouts
For millennials and people of Gen-Z, news on wars in the Middle East is just a thing that comes across our screens now and then. Wars in the Middle East has been something that Gen Z & Millennial Americans have lived with our entire lives. It seems that Americans never bat an eye over foreign affairs and many Americans are ignorant about what is going on outside our borders. The question is, are Americans so self indulged that they could care less about foreign wars and involvement, or does our government censor us from the Anti-War shouts?
Mainstream news organizations such as CNN and The New York Times never seem to update the American people on these foreign affairs. Major news headlines about war involvement only seem to stay on air for small minutes and then are never brought up again.
War news from the Middle East that actually does reach major news websites seems to only show the American government in a positive light. News networks never degrade or talk negatively about the U.S. government in the same manner which anti-war websites do.
Headlines like "Donald Trump's real North Korea Mistake" or "Conveying the Chaos and Absurdity of the Iraq War" make are posted on the front page of anti-war.com. Headlines that talk about the government with negative words like "absurdity" will never be seen on popular websites.
Websites like anti-war.com or The American Conservative do not have the same popularity levels as larger news sites. This calls for suspicion that the U.S. Government censors the news that the American public receives.
Common Americans are unaware that the websites mentioned previously even exist. Americans have to seek this information, rather than have it fed to them like other news subjects.
Does it seem that the American government censors opinions that oppose theirs? Or are Americans too busy to seek the less exciting news? That opinion is up to you.
