MSM admits that Slavic names in the Russia-Ukraine war are far too difficult to pronounce or spell
Far easier to cover the Israel-Hamas war
I’m a cat. Cats are always thinking. It’s what we do second best. We are best at sleeping.
These days I often find myself drifting off into a luxurious nap while contemplating the state of the ‘civilized’ human world.
During one of my more recent catnaps I was considering the shift of MSM focus from the Ukraine-Russia war to full-time 24/7 coverage of the Israel-Hamas genocide of the Palestine population.
My man-servant and best friend (when it’s convenient and/or beneficial to me), Nick is of Ukrainian heritage - his great grandparents emigrated from Ukraine a century or so ago.
So he is a little pissed off at the MSM focus shift from Eastern Europe to the Middle East. BTW - Nick can’t speak one word of Ukrainian, nor does he have any idea from which part of the Ukraine his ancestors hailed. But he’s proud.
Anyway, suffice it to say that all this has caused me no end of grief.
My meals and snacks are often late or sometimes forgotten totally. The horror.
And changing the litter is done on a haphazard schedule, resulting in me having to remind him. And the reminders are not subtle, often ending in a lot of profanity.
So during a nice Sunday nap I came up with an idea.
How about a 24/7 news network devoted totally to war. They could do it in one hour blocks, covering a different war every hour.
From 7 PM to 8 PM they could cover the War of the Day - for example, the Ukraine-Russia conflict.
From 8 PM to 9PM, it’s the Genocide Hour covering the Israel-Hamas or another featured genocide - whatever sells advertising time.
From 9 PM to 11 PM - uprisings, guerrilla warfare, etc. Whatever sells. Myself, I’d like to see a piece on “What’s Happening in Myanmar”.
You get the idea.
I first thought of this when I was considering a sports channel for cats - featuring cat fights.
But as cat fights are usually over in a matter of minutes, if not seconds, I could not see anyone tuning in to watch a 45 second clip of two cats scrapping over a discarded Big Mac.
Although I imagine Donald J Trump would watch, if not participate, in a fight over a piece of KFC ‘chicken’.

Oh! The pronunciation issue. Thanks for clarifying that! (I’ve been wondering myself. It’s as if MSM flipped a switch...)
