Anti-War Post




The reasoning behind not hearing about these websites is because the mainstream media and news services simply do not want to portray the government's actions in a negative way. Pretty sure these news channels are obligated to not talk negatively about the wars that the United States is funding -- their only job is to talk about what is happening, not why it is happening. There is an article on a website called wagingnonviolence.org which discusses why anti-war is rarely every seen on the big screen, "And finally, since the mainstream media are owned by enormous corporations that have their own interests—which generally run contrary to the interests of those struggling for radical or progressive social change—getting positive news coverage of protests will always be an uphill, and sometimes futile, battle." This shows that contrary to popular belief, most people who work for these kinds of organizations just do not discuss these topics due to what their channel believes in, especially if the news is more conservative, but even in massive democratic dominated news organizations, that still is not the case. 

We have to seek out these websites ourselves because the government does not want ties to something. They (the government) know what they're doing is bad, however they want to cover their tracks and tie it to anything negative. Therefore, it is discussed in a space where people or society is interested in that sort of thing, and can seek it out themselves. A lot of people are unaware that the United States government funds wars because in return they can get the money if they assist another allied power, even though they have no real reason to be a part of such a thing. In conclusion, the reason why society cannot find these websites without looking something up is due to the mainstream media concising what is said about the United States government.
