Media Bias and Grievability in Victimhood

This chapter explores the disparities in media coverage of victims, particularly contrasting the attention given to anti-communist figures like Jerzy Popiolusko with the neglect of religious leaders in Latin America. It critiques the influences of race and ideology on media narratives, illustrating how certain lives are prioritized over others based on geopolitical contexts. Additionally, it addresses the historical implications of U.S. interventionism and the resulting biases in the portrayal of political violence and victimhood across different regions.
