Need more proof that nothing — absolutely nothing — gets by the watchful eye of the mainstream media? Here you go:
A text sent to the @AP suggests that videos showing Uyghurs praising the Chinese Communist Party and denying genocide in Xinjiang were not made voluntarily. @dakekang https://t.co/XuzpxB9zkn

Videos of ethnic Uyghurs filming themselves denying human rights abuses are part of a Chinese government campaign that raises questions about the willingness of the participants, @AP finds. https://t.co/PlCAvY2MUX

“Raises questions” that maybe don’t even need to exist.
From the AP:
URUMQI, China (AP) — China has highlighted an unlikely series of videos this year in which Uyghur men and women deny U.S. charges that Beijing is committing human rights violations against their ethnic group. In fact, a text obtained by the AP shows that the videos are part of a government campaign that raises questions about the willingness of those filmed.
If the AP finds that surprising it’s no wonder they wouldn’t have noticed Hamas working out of their building in Gaza. Others are not quite as stunned:
Top notch journalisming
