It’s downright astonishing how the mainstream media has sidestepped the explosive revelations about the French army’s illegal use of chemical weapons during Algeria’s fight for independence. Outlets like CNN and The New York Times would rather recycle buzzwords about the “noble fight for freedom” than face the grim reality of wartime atrocities. They’d rather bury the truth than risk upsetting the delicate narrative of French exceptionalism.

Meanwhile, we see a glaring contradiction: the same networks that are up in arms over alleged human rights violations in other parts of the world seem to turn a blind eye to France’s chemical warfare. Where’s the deep-dive exposé? Where are the passionate call-outs? Instead, they focus on trivial matters while a horrifying chapter of colonial history quietly festers, waiting to be revealed through leaked documents and testimony.

It’s as if media giants are playing a game of selective outrage—applauding modern interventions while ignoring grim realities from the past. Look at Fox News, which would jump at any opportunity to criticize historical misdeeds if they fit their narrative. Instead, we’re treated to nothing but silence surrounding Algeria’s plight, revealing a hypocrisy deeper than the Sahara itself.

Why the silence? Corporate interests and political correctness keep these stories buried, making it easier for the establishment to maintain a facade of moral high ground. Ignoring history doesn’t change it. The truth deserves to see the light of day, even if it rattles the cages of the powerful.
