The South African government has begun seizing land from white farmers, following an August 1 ruling which amended that nation’s constitution to legalize the practice. Despite the disturbing ramifications of this human rights abuse at the hands of a foreign government, both cable and network news have remained stubbornly silent on the issue.
According to the Johannesburg-based City Press, the South African government has begun the process of expropriating two game farms based in Limpopo. The government reportedly put the plan into motion after the owners rejected offers by the state to purchase their land for as little as one-tenth of its actual value. It appears that the expropriations are meant to serve as retroactive punishment for apartheid. A spokesman for the ANC – the party in power in South Africa – has admitted as much, asserting that the seizures were “tied to addressing injustices of the past.”
News of these seizures broke in Western media on the morning of August 20, giving networks more than enough time to fit the story into their evening broadcasts. However, none bothered to mention the scandal.
These same networks did find time for other pressing international matters – such as the case of a Norwegian woman who was rescued after falling off a cruise ship embarking from Italy. That story was mentioned on both ABC's World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News.
Back in 2016, CBS Evening News ran segments two consecutive nights proclaiming that the white rhinoceros was “under assault” in South Africa. ABC has reported on that same crisis as recently as October of 2017. Cable news outlets CNN and MSNBC have been equally uninterested in the ongoing land seizures. As far as print media, Newsweek appears to be the only widely-distributed American publication to have mentioned the story.
The media’s ongoing silence about this troubling development may in part be due to embarrassment from the left’s historic support for the ANC – the party responsible for the land-grabs. But whatever the reason, it appears that as far as South Africa is concerned, the liberal media are more interested in white rhinos than they are in white farmers
Good documentary of this topic by Lauren Southern called Farmlands

But the media will show up in full force when South Africa is starving because no white farmers left to feed them and they start crying to the U.N. For aid.
btt
I think the media is cowed into silence by the black culture in the same way that Muzzies cower them into silence.
I heard Michael Savage today interact with a calller (guest?) who was ok with South Africa taking white farmers’ land. Savage asked the caller if he knew what happened in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe after the government took the white farmers’ land. The caller, who was in favor of taking white farmers’ land in both countries, sounded like he really did not know that Zimbabwe went from being an exporter of food to having a starving population. If, in fact, this man did not know about this, it is simply another product of our fake news propaganda press.
Its maddening/frightful isn’t it? I was reading on a hunting forum about some guys who had booked a hunt in Limpopo for THIS month and had not a clue... Someone mentioned Rhodesia and extremely few *like me and the other guy* actually knew anything about it. Good grief, I thought.
I’m afraid all most of the people in this nation are going to hear is how the bad white people left and the remaining blacks are starving because of no fault of their own.

They have been silent over worse atrocities for twenty years.
Gleefully silent.
