3. I am deeply concerned, too, that the MSM scarcely bother to mention

the criminal illegality of so much of what the US and Israel (as well as other countries) have been doing, let alone the histories that led us to bother negotiating definitions of such crimes and what we stand to lose if we abandon all pretense of concern about them.

It reminds me of the MSM coverage of elections: it's all about the horse race – who's winning and why – rather than the issues. Yes, these wars and elections are struggles for power, and we need to know who's winning – we'd be foolish to ignore those realities – but what about the issues now at stake, including the histories that gave rise to and shaped them?
