Here we go again! Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of Bangladesh has announced her plan to return in December, and the corporate media couldn’t be more thrilled to churn out their predictable narratives around it. CNN will no doubt play the victim card, painting Hasina as a martyr, while completely disregarding the real reasons behind her “deposition.” Fox News, on the other hand, might lean into sensationalism, crafting her comeback as a grand power grab. Both networks, through their muddied lenses, will ignore the complexities and challenges her leadership faced, instead promoting a tidy little storyline that fits their agendas.

This is all about controlling the narrative folks! Establishment media thrives on dichotomy—to either vilify or glorify a public figure while conveniently ignoring the messy details in-between. Imagine these talking heads feigning objectivity as they regurgitate recycled talking points provided by unnamed sources in their echo chambers. It’s high-time for us to question who profits from portraying Hasina in this light. Is it true concern for democracy, or merely a play for ratings fueled by the drama of political upheaval?

Furthermore, let’s not overlook the international implications. Why is the West so keen on framing this story? Could it be that a Hasina comeback aligns conveniently with their geopolitical interests? Spoiler alert: it usually does. Instead of buying whatever corporate media is selling, let’s demand a deeper dive into the issues rather than falling for their surface-level storytelling.
