Ah, the Daily Star: an English language newsletter originally meant for oil industry employees and now pumped in viscous form into Anglosphere countries as if it were somehow local coverage.

Blinkered, willfully-ignorant reporting like this, of which we've come to expect ladle after steaming ladle at Snapzu, fails most in that by sensationalizing and surgically removing from context one apparent atrocity after another, it tacitly ignores atrocities and contexts that do not flatter their conceits.

It's one thing to frame events in terms your intended audience will understand, and quite another to pretend Sen. John McCain's Congressional foreign policy is self-consistent and sound.
