Here's a classic lesson in media bias and the way outlets frame stories.
Japan's former Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, was a conservative leader and was well respected worldwide. Of course, he had a bad relationship with his chief geopolitical foe, China, and many Chinese are celebrating his assassination.
But look at how US media framed it:
Here's what Cunningham was pointing out.
When commie leaders passed away, the AP was quick to give them more than fair share flattery. Here we see the headlines for Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez, two of the worst dictators in modern times who were responsible for untold mass suffering and death.
And this is how the Associated Press frames the violent political assassination of Japan's former Prime Minister.
If you're a murderous commie then you are praised for your passion or even for opposing the United States. But if you're a successful leader who honorably served and willingly stepped down, you're "divisive."
Sick.
And the AP isn't alone. Check out what your taxpayer-funded news service published before they got ratioed into oblivion for their obvious pro-China bias.
"Divisive arch-conservative."
NPR wouldn't even mention that it was an assassination?
Did they forget the word? Or is he not important enough in their mind to be considered assassinated?
For what it's worth, here's how NPR covered the death of commie dictator Hugo Chavez:
He was a showman!
NPR deleted their initial tweet about the assassinated PM, and this is what they put up instead.
Now he's an "ultranationalist" instead of an "arch-conservative."
I guess that's better?
Have we mentioned how mainstream media is the enemy of the people?
