Chellaney: Western Media's Double Standard in Protest Coverage

Imagine news stories about protests.

Sometimes, the way these stories are told changes depending on where the protests happen.

Brahma Chellaney says that when protests happen in other countries, the news can make them seem exciting and like a 'revolution,' even if things get violent.

But when similar things happen in the US, like the storming of the Capitol, the news is more likely to say it's wrong.

Chellaney believes this is unfair.

He says that celebrating violence can lead to unstable situations, where things get worse instead of better.

He thinks real change needs strong rules and working institutions, not chaos or violence.
