Vox
produced a flashy, extremely hawkish video fearmongering about the
likelihood of a second Korean War—and all the experts featured in
it just so happen to work for the United States government.
For the
description under the six-minute video, which is dramatically titled
“The Horrific Reality of a War With North Korea,” Vox wrote:
“Five experts discuss what a war on the Korean peninsula would look
like, how close we are to conflict, and the terrifying consequences.”
Four of
the five experts cited by Vox directly worked for the government. The
fifth expert works at a think tank that is substantially financed by
the Pentagon and does research contract work for it.
In its
reporting on North Korea, Vox makes no pretense of neutrality or
independence. The news outlet may not be state-owned, but it
continues a well-established corporate media trend of reflexively
echoing the positions of the US government as if they are undeniable
facts and an objective reflection of reality—a trend that is also
manifest in Vox‘s CIA-inspired reporting on Iran and other Official
Enemies.
