The US military just droned a bunch of children.
This is how @DailyMail covered it. 🇦🇫🤢
"One of the most depraved front pages I’ve ever seen" - @Louis_Allday
The Daily Mail's own reporting makes clear that the U.S. killed three kids in the attack.
So they're essentially posing with the child survivors who lost their families.
And the military is being framed as a caring, compassionate force.
Unreal levels of propaganda.
On Afghanistan, I just published an investigation with @MintPressNews into the extraordinary costs of the project, including details of the enormous corruption among Afghan and US officials.

Link to Louis Allday's tweet.
I don't know if he was the first to comment on this, but he was the first one I saw anyway.
This image was literally given to newswires AP and AFP by the US military itself.
Yet the Guardian, MSN, EuroNews and El Nacional still chose to print this blatant propaganda.
