Bali

Silent Running describes Australian television coverage of a remembrance ceremony for the Bali massacre as "a colossal experiment in neuro-linguistic programming."

An alien visitor to earth who had just arrived would have tuned in to the broadcast and assumed that two bombs had simply assembled themselves, for no readily apparent reason, and had subsequently exploded, again with no human intervention whatsoever.

I think the natural disaster approach to covering the war against us serves two purposes of the mainstream media's "progressive" ideology. First, to limit the natural, righteous rage against the murderers that would otherwise demand resolute action. Second, to construct events as divine punishment for our own transgressions and in this way perpetuate the narcissistic self-congratulation that is the only emotion so many of our elites seem to be capable of.
