But looking back five years later, I understand why the juxtaposition disturbed me so much. It was an ominous expression of modern journalism’s obsession with bothsidesism — its constant impulse to give oppressors as much care and elevation as those they oppress. Worse, I see a trend away from centering progressive global voices speaking out for human rights. I sadly think that Arab writers such as Jamal [Khashoggi] find it harder to be platformed in our media today.
I saw the headline of this piece yesterday and didn't stop to read it. Thank you for making me take a second look.
Happy to.
