The

The Thank you. I'm Welcome to Media Roots Radio.

This is your host, Abby Martin.

And this is your host, Robbie Martin.

Sorry, I lost my voice singing karaoke, so it's a little bit scratchy still.

Apologize in advance.

So, yeah, a lot of horrible things have happened in the last week.

Ironically, the day that the Charlie Hebdo, the massacre at the satirical magazine, Charlie

Ebdo in France, happened.

A car bombing in Yemen also went off killing 30 people

and just days later a massacre in Nigeria actually were up to 2,000 people died. Really, really

unfortunate. But as the media tends to do, focusing just on kind of the West, which, you know,

please do not take this offensively.

I'm not demeaning these people or their lives or anything.

I'm not condoning the atrocity.

I'm just saying it's just interesting to see what the media focuses in on and covers more

than other tragedies.

It's like the things that are easier to kind of hone in on and use and politicize and

exploit.

And it's awful because people died and people are dying everywhere and people are going

to die because of what the government's going to do in reaction to this.

Yeah.
