She’s unveiling media’s darkest secrets.
Conservative commentator Candace Owens recently criticized the media for allegedly overlooking widespread persecution of Christians worldwide while giving extensive coverage to events in Israel. During an interview on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Owens responded to questions about her lack of immediate commentary on an attack in Israel by emphasizing her belief that the suffering of Christians globally is underreported compared to conflicts involving Israel.
She expressed frustration that media attention often intensifies for incidents involving Israel, contrasting it with what she perceives as insufficient coverage of Christian persecution. Owens pointed out that while tragic events in Israel receive comprehensive coverage, similar atrocities against Christians around the world often go unnoticed by mainstream media.
In her view, this discrepancy reflects a skewed prioritization in media coverage and historical narratives, questioning why certain historical atrocities receive more attention than others. Owens specifically mentioned instances where she believes media coverage overlooks or downplays the persecution of Christians in various regions, citing examples such as Armenia and Nigeria.
Owens also criticized what she sees as disproportionate attention given to conflicts where Israel is involved, including its military support for Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. She argued for equal consideration of all persecuted groups, particularly emphasizing her concern as a Christian herself.
Her remarks touched on her personal journey and convictions, including her recent embrace of Roman Catholicism and her commitment to speaking out about issues affecting Christians globally. Owens highlighted the need for a more balanced and inclusive approach in media coverage and public discourse, urging others to confront and address systemic biases in reporting.
Overall, Owens’ comments underscored her stance on advocating for broader recognition of Christian persecution alongside other global issues, challenging prevailing media narratives and advocating for a more equitable representation of humanitarian concerns.
