They're brown and poor and our country is deep in the arms trade.
opens a post with question in the title that is lamenting that news don't give any real answers and focus just on "trump bad" story.
all top comments are just "trump bad" and "all bad government" and has to scroll deep down to find an actual answer to the question posted.
leaves understanding much better why news don't focus on context and give just emotional side stories.

I mean, Houthis have been striking passing civilian ships with missiles and kidnapped people. Not terribly concerned they got shot back tbh.
They are only doing it because of the genocide in Palestine. If you cared about civilians you would be defending them.
