The utter lack of western media's reporting on Burmese Genocide is appalling...

So people hate us because we're the world police or nah? How can you pick and choose who to overthrow. The world doesn't want the US to play that role. I don't see why they're obligated to do so.

I mean, I don't even know how you can lie about this. I've read dozens of articles about how guns are bad mkay and showing the increase in mass shootings.

I am sure you can read hundreds of articles about what's going on in Myanmar, it doesn't change the fact that the mainstream media isn't taking much of an interest in this. Where is the mainstream media taking a major interest in the hundreds of deaths and injuries in mass shootings this year in the US? The only mass murder things I see coming out of the US mainstream media focus on Islamic attacks in Europe and that racist guy with the car. who plowed through people. I think, other than racial attacks and attacks by Islamic people, the last time I heard of any big mainstream interest in mass murder was Sandy Hook thing, which was like 5-6 years ago.

How do you qualify mainstream media? I'm reading this on NYT and WashPo. Doesn't get much more mainstream than that.
