Yeah, there’s this general trend where “Western” media and their offshore subsidiaries only care about people if they’re famous, white or both. This was my main criticism of the coverage of the war in Ukraine when it started because from the start it was very disproportionate compared to other conflicts in peripheral nations. I guess it’s hard for newscorps and liberals to talk about those in-depth because they’d need to acknowledge “that poor and non-white people are humans deserving of dignity”, which is a controversial statement among their peers. Not to mention their favourite parties and corporations having a stake in killing and displacing those poor/non-white people.
