What Americans die from vs the causes the US media reports on.
I guess the same applies to media everywhere. And immigrants get blamed most often.

God, I really can’t listen to LBC anymore.
Tuned in for 15 minutes to hear Reform saying all migrants arriving on boats should be considered to be sex offenders until proven otherwise. Guilty until proven innocent.
Then tuned in an hour later to hear that Prince Andrew’s “suffered enough”.
