The (Socialist) Malala Yousafzai the US Media Doesn’t Quote

Norton exposes the contrast between the full stated views of the Nobel Prize winner and the "re-constituted" version crafted by Empire media directors in order that we are not tempted with "wrong" ideas about the system and the Empire's policies. Nowadays Empire media directors must be working overtime to re-construct the news to fit their class interests.
As much as it accentuates Malala’s thoughts on education and nonviolence, nonetheless, what the US corporate media never mentions is the side of Malala it doesn’t like, the side of Malala that doesn’t serve but rather challenges Western imperialist interests, the side of Malala that overtly opposes not just US drone strikes but capitalism itself.
