Today’s attack on Rangers personnel is being documented, discussed, and dissected across social media in real time, while the mainstream media remains silent. When credible news outlets stay off major stories, the information vacuum is quickly filled by speculation, rumours, edited clips, and unverified claims. The public loses access to fact checked reporting, context, and accountability, making it harder to separate truth from misinformation. Mainstream media exists to verify facts, provide balance, and keep the public accurately informed. Silence on matters of public importance doesn’t stop the conversation it simply shifts it to platforms where accuracy isn’t guaranteed.
