    I just don’t get it why mainsteam media almost never reports about this.

      Because it’s not been free press for a long time.

      Remember when journalism was supposed to be outrageous? That’s not a mark of quality, that’s a rule. If it’s not outrageous, then it’s most likely not journalism.

      It also never reports on wars outside of the agreed upon narrative. There’s time and narrative for everything. That doesn’t happen with free press. There may not be open censorship and coercion, but not seeing something is different from knowing it doesn’t exist.
