Well, howdy there, internet people, it's Beau again.
So today we are going to talk about something
that we've mentioned here and we definitely mentioned
it on Sunday over on the other channel.
But it's been in passing and it really hasn't gotten
the attention that it deserves,
so we're gonna remedy that today.
Okay, so starting off, I'll lay the scene.
There's a city, and it's a pretty big city, and right now it's even bigger because hundreds
of thousands of people have fled to that city because there's a bunch of fighting, and that
fighting has been going on a while.
Salmon, it's close in hand.
There is a very high likelihood that there is an offensive, I don't know if offensive
is the right word, that there's going to be a move into the city, like very soon.
If that move occurs, it's going to get pretty bad.
The US ambassador talking about it said that it would be a quote disaster on top of a disaster
if that move into the city occurred and called for de-escalation, called for all arms going
into the area to cease.
The name of the city is Al-Fasher, it's in Sudan.
So the obvious question, is there anything you can do about it?
No not really, not as far as stopping the move, not really.
pressure that could be applied, it is being applied, short of like military
force. But even though that pressure is there, it doesn't mean that the move into
the city won't happen. If it does happen, then there might be something you can do
because undoubtedly, you know, the the helpers will come along and try to deal
with the humanitarian situation.
So if there's nothing y'all can do, why am I telling you this, right?
A couple of reasons.
One is it is something that we've mentioned in passing, but really haven't talked about
it much.
The other is that I got a question about it, about how the media determines where the spotlight
gets pointed, and I just answered the question.
When you're talking about large outlets, it's pretty simple.
It's a pretty simple affair.
It's all math.
It has to have a built-in audience, people who are going to watch and be interested in
it.
polarizing because that'll keep people watching longer. That drives ratings, drives advertising
revenue. I am not a big outlet and I don't have to play by those rules. The other thing
that happened was one of my older kids was listening to that video about denovia. And
I realized that this would get coverage in the media if the offensive happens.
If the move into the city occurs, it'll start to get real coverage.
But listening to me talk about how the U.S. prepares the populace for shifts in foreign
policy made me realize that there aren't any, there's no coverage out there talking
about the good, hardworking, industrious people of Sudan. So when that coverage
occurs, nobody's gonna care. So I figured a little bit of an introduction before
or the potential bad news, which to be honest, unless something remarkable occurs, the move
into the city is probably going to occur.
But I figured that small introduction might make people a little bit more interested,
make the coverage a little bit more broad.
Anyway, it's just a thought, y'all have a good day.
