Former President Barack Obama called out what he perceived as a double standard in media coverage of the tragedy of the OceanGate Titan submersible versus the migrant boat that sank off the coast of Greece last week.
In an interview with CNN Obama railed against inequality in our democracy and claimed the fact that news of the missing OceanGate sub dominated the news cycle, while the sinking of a migrant boat in the Mediterranean Sea did not, is an example of this inequality.
Obama noted that democracy is not going to be healthy due to this type of obscene inequality.
Obama is idiotic.
Democracy is a political means of governing in a free society.
It has nothing to do with journalism or the decisions of the News Media to prioritize news coverage.
Especially since coverage of the tragic drownings of Pakistani citizens off Greece was subjected to world wide attention, five days before the sub imploded killing all five aboard, two of whom were Pakistani citizens.
