"Weeks after the U.S. invaded #Afghanistan, for example, the chairman of #CNN sent a memo to all staff advising them in no uncertain terms to downplay the #suffering of Afghans, stating that it “seems perverse to focus too much on the #casualties or hardship in Afghanistan.” Chelsea #Manning and Julian #Assange went to prison for releasing images of victims of U.S. wars. Yet #Russia’s victims are front and center, with #media even going so far as to approvingly report on Ukrainian civilians making and using #Molotov cocktails on Russian forces."
