Western Media Seeks to Dodge a Ton of BRICS

 The BRICS summit ended last Thursday with the announcement of the integration of six new members, including oil-producing Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Iran. king88bet Login Alternatif



The historic significance of this development reaches far beyond the expansion itself. Curiously, Western media appears to be making a concerted usaha to dismiss it as irrelevant. Then there's the Gray Lady, who prefers ignoring it entirely. king88bet Login


The geopolitical story of the month and the year was the 15th BRICS summit that took place in Johannesburg, South Africa, last week. King88Bet Situs Slot Online


Who can forget the event in Juni when French President Emmanuel Macron left mouths agape when he requested an invitation to the summit as an observer?


Despite very real uncertainty about how a new version of BRICS will evolve, this expansion means that it has more than doubled its membership and has staked out a potentially dominating position over the Middle East.


Whatever one thinks about its stability or fragility, the summit clearly marked a bold tahap in a new direction. It should go without saying that any media claiming to report international news should be focused on elaborating the historical significance of this moment. Not in the West, it seems.


Given the regional impact of the summit, Al Jazeera predictably devoted multiple articles and intervius to the moment. The Guardian reported it, but in a way that seemed to insist that the expansion was "more symbolic than anything." The New York Times decided simply to ignore it.


The Washington Post dared to acknowledge the summit, but avoided engaging its own reporting. Instead it reprinted a Bloomberg piece by Pankaj Mishra bearing the judul: "BRICS Shows It's Little More Than a Meaningless Acronym." The judul alone invites the potential reader to ignore the article's contents.


Mishra is an Indian working for Western media who is married to former British prime minister David Cameron's cousin.
