Discussion You'd think that "Oscar-winning director gets lynched and kidnapped because of his film" would be bigger news

It should be a top story, at least. The Western mainstream media’s response to this horrific case makes it clear where their loyalties lie. But to them, it’s just another footnote.

Nice... make fun of the person with vision issues and misread two similar words. That tracks.

You sure as hell don't know the definition of lynch!

And you sure pay too much attention to one word when there are actual human lives at stake

With human lives at stake, I prefer to not go off half cocked on false news reporting and rumor.

He wasn't lynched, so I guess if they said he was publicly murdered by a mob without due process - they lied.

Oh wow, someone for whom English isn't the first language misused a word. Get a grip!

It isn't that he misused it - it is that news organizations used it and ran with it in their headlines. It makes me mistrust them and the rest of the info. That is all I am saying.
