Precisely. I suppose a dramatic headline about a 'record' number of migrants crossing the channel has nothing to do with distracting people from the conclusion of COP26.
It amazes me when reading anything about migrants, that nobody on any side of the political spectrum seems to be overly critical of the foreign policy of the UK and US, which undoubtedly causes the majority of the migrants we see fleeing north Africa and the Middle East into Europe. You can go down the list of these unstable nations where people are fleeing for their lives and go "Yep, that's caused by us.. oh yep, we have a hand in that one too".
If it's not US sanctions crippling an entire nation, it's funding or arming one side in a conflict. If it's not all out invasion and occupation then it's providing military training or military support to the side that suits our interests the best, regardless of the cost to human life.
You won't read about that though. Forget the outrage about what this paper printed or that channel broadcast - it's what they aren't reporting on and printing in the papers that you should be pissed off about. Propaganda by omission.
