> **[Sri Lanka to grant military sweeping powers after 290 killed in Easter attacks...](https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/sri-lanka-attacks-1.5106289)** > > Sri Lanka's president is set to give the military sweeping wartime powers a day after a string of bombings at churches and luxury hotels killed 290 people and wounded about 500. so far up to 290+ dead and about 500 injured. the media coverage, mostly the differences in how the coverage is approached vs. anti-trump or other narratives (NZ shooting etc.), is very interesting. even in this article i am noticing that despite the advance notice and the clear culpability of a certain faith or idealogy, that the media is focusing more on actors or parties confirmed to NOT be involved in this… what i mean is that many pieces are sharing the story of the long-ended civil war and implicating the Tamil Tigers and buddhists when it is all but confirmed that this was neither of those groups. i guess we didnt need any further confirmation bias but my goodness if this whole thing doesnt make you shake your head. it seems such a disservice to the victims and such an obvious affront to ‘journalism’ to alter the narrative in this way. ---

Agree, they also keep referencing “Easter celebrating”, can’t even say Christians attacked by xxx… the world is going nutty. ---

its so strange that there just has to be a reason for it that i’m just not in the loop on. how could people so obviously coordinate their speech in such a way? ---
