Anti War

Often times, anti war propaganda and news are not shown in mainstream media. There are many different reasons for this, but the most apparent is the media bias. Many news outlets and programs are either directly tied to politics or economics and do not show certain topics of media. 

Personally, I had never hear of the Antiwar website or The American Conservative website. I think that the main reason behind this is because antiwar and opinions that are different than the vast majority are often pushed into the background of news and media, or even never shown at all. Specifically on the Antiwar website, there are multiple articles regarding the United State's involvement in the Israel and Ukraine conflict. As well as on The American Conservative website, there are articles about leaders being killed by Israeli strikes and missiles headed for Israel. Both of these websites clearly show news that is not on regular media or information that is not often publicized to the public.

This can also apply in specific situations in which the owner's of media censor everything under them. This is extremely apparent when you look at companies like Disney. Since Disney is known for advertising it's media towards kids, most of the media, even if they are news or sports channels, do not mention anything too graphic or too unpopular. Specifically, when talking about news and media coverage, these programs are aligned with pro-military and pro-war news. This is apparent in a lot of forms of news media, whether it is considered left-leaning or right-leaning.

This specific instance is extremely apparent if you look closely at news channels such as CNN and Fox News. With these two you can clearly see that while their stances on certain topics can be differing, they often avoid the same topics, or address the same ones.
