I watch the news, on the BBC, on RTE, on Channel 4 from time to time - but tonight it struck me that they don't show what's happening in the ME, they show a sanitised version of it that won't upset us. Even with the 'may contain distressing content' warning, what they show is edited to remove truly distressing content - ie, the truth of what's happening on all sides. I am not saying I want to watch extreme violence, but actually I think I should, because it's what's happening. I'm lucky to be in the position to observe it and not experience it. Maybe seeing the reality of the conflict would provoke more outrage and put more pressure on our politicians to take action to stop it. I did a bit of a deep dive into YouTube this evening and came away shocked - which I think any humane person would be. We need reality in our mainstream media, not trigger warnings.
