The differences between news reports on the recent massacre of hundreds in Nigeria are stark.
Listening to St. Louis’ KMOX-AM 1120 this morning, I heard the CBS Radio News report about about some 200 people being killed in “sectarian violence” during the past few days had left at least 200 dead in Nigeria. Conversely, Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald reported that the latest violence appeared unrelated to national sectarian political frictions.
What else did the report from “the land down under” mention that CBS chose to omit? Two key facts:
- The vast majority of people killed were Christians; and
- Those doing the killed — primarily with machetes — were Muslims.
The Independent Television Network (UK) report below offers more information about the persecution of Christians in central Nigeria.
EDITOR’S NOTE: I tried unsuccessfully to locate online audio of the CBS Radio News report referenced above. If you find one, please share it with me. Thanks in advance.
