Johann Hari on Iran/Peru media bias

It is not usual that I agree with what Johann Hari says, but this article is his finest for me. It seems that there are some people that are awake and actually to realize what is going on in the world.

Why Not Peru?

The coverage of the western media on the Iranian "revolution" has been so extensive that some outlets have dedicated a minute by minute coverage webpage to follow what is happening there. This meant that whatever is happening anywhere else in the world goes unnoticed. For example what happened in Peru during the demonstrations by the poor and native of that country against the government that had planned to introduce new laws allowing foreign companies to exploit the rainforest which those people lived by. Atleast 60 people have been killed during the demonstrations and many more missing. But this is not important because Peru unlike Iran is not hindering the West and their multinational companies from exploiting their natural resources and allowing them to dominate over the area.

The independent has writen an article about it, yes one article is all that it gets. And the only reason why they did is because it somehow is related to the UK...
