Seems like I hear about Russia/Ukraine about the same…sounds like those ATACMS missiles(idk what they are though) were pretty effective and important. It’s on most front pages.
And in cases like these, I don’t think public opinion is that important? Imagine Japan being like, “yeah, China is doing stuff we disagree with in disputed territory, but people are really focused on Israel/Palestine and Russia/Ukraine… let’s just leave China alone out there, public’s not paying attention anyway.”
Yes, but governments are strongly effected by public opinion. Notice how much less you’re hearing about Ukraine/Russia right now?
Media tends to be a lot more focused on large events, which can help shift public opinion
