Pay close attention who the govt labels as “terrorists” and always ask, “WHY?”
Severe punishment for dissent and protest is the tyranny our constitution is supposed to protect us from.

“By now, we would have a search and rescue team of hundreds of people on the ground in Myanmar, digging people out of rubble. Now all we’re told is, ‘we may be able to send three people there.’”
Without USAID, Myanmar is struggling to recover from its massive earthquake
“We have the capacity to save lives, and the choice has been not to use it,” said the former head of the agency's Myanmar mission.

The more coverage a story gets, the more important readers think it is.
So it matters when the NYT inflates flimsy Dem ‘scandals’ while downplaying real, criminal ones from Trump and Republicans. It’s not just bad judgment — it shapes public perception.
