      Contrast coverage of Russia's Aleppo offensive -- evil, barbaric -- with muted coverage of the US's Mosul offensivehttp://www.latimes.com/world/middleeast/la-fg-iraq-mosul-airstrike-20170325-story.html …

      Russia's offensive was cast in the most histrionic terms possible: many even called it "genocidal." Nowhere near the same outrage re: Mosul

          American public was expected to declare solidarity with extremist forces in Aleppo incl AQ. Their removal was cast as huge tragedy.

          Hysterical domestic climate re: Russia made that the only acceptable narrative, despite the obvious absurdity.

          of course! Why would we have the MSM shining light on the profitable US war machine?

          Partly wrong. It's getting a little more coverage than expected,from MSM because Trump is now in charge.

          They were killing civilians in Aleppo in cold blood so they would not become refugees, so the houses would be empty for Assad.

          THAT is why there was outrage. More outrage when a man faces a child and shoots her to take her family home, than drops a bomb.
