Nigeria’s government claims one of its nationals was killed by police using “gruesome interrogation techniques.” But where’s the outrage, CNN? Where’s the deep-dive reporting? We’ve seen you bend over backwards to expose minor infractions in America, yet this is crickets? Why is it, when it’s foreign soil, the corporate media suddenly adopts a “who cares?” attitude? If this were a U.S. police department, they’d be dissecting every detail like a broke-down car on the side of the road.

Meanwhile, the likes of MSNBC will likely gloss over this tragic event, opting instead for their predictable narratives that toe the party line. It’s classic media manipulation—focus on the outrage at home while letting serious issues abroad fester without the necessary scrutiny. Let’s not forget how these narratives become tools for shifting your gaze away from inconvenient truths about global governance.

This isn’t merely a matter of a death abroad; it’s a reflection of a broken system that we’re complicit in by ignoring it. It raises uncomfortable questions that establishment media would prefer you not to entertain—like how international policies can embolden such brutality. It’s high time we demand that the truth be as important abroad as it is at home, and that means calling out the media’s selective outrage.
