Liberal and Conservative media outlets alike have been portraying Arabs and Muslims as bloodthirsty savages for generations. The Fox News stuff is obvious and abhorrent but it's so outlandish its almost comical to anyone with half a working brain cell. But the reason it's so mainstream and pervasive in the west is largely thanks to the legitimization efforts of liberal mouthpieces like the New York times and the Atlantic, etc. They make it palatable for high society to be able to watch the annihilation of a people and not even flinch.
Liberal news outlets are literally defending the genocide with 'Our way of life is better', similar to a post by Platner who said that they might kill (in Iraq? Afghanistan?) thousands, maybe millions, but it was worth it because 'Our way of life is better'. Literally Nazi rhetoric but without the genetics argument because it's no longer palatable.
