The reasons for the importance of the California fire news

Losing a few hectares of forest due to fire alone does not have the ability to cover widely, but the fire in California did not just happen in the forest, but spread to towns and cities. Thousands of residential houses and villas were set on fire, and since this area has a pleasant climate and a view overlooking the sea, celebrities and famous artistic and political people had dream villas there, which are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and some even millions of dollars. and all these amounts were minus the objects and equipment used in the villas, which were burned and destroyed.

Entering political issues into fires in California

The former head of the Sedavasima news agency called the introduction of political debates as one of the reasons for the importance of the news of the California fires and said: “It is not possible to judge the validity of the political debates raised so soon; Whether these fires were the result of political actions or not. It is said that in the state of California, due to its historical identity, people vote more for Democrats, and now that the Republican government has come to power, it may be a deliberate act in this regard.

Remembering that the state of California is apparently a great power that should be able to deal with these disasters, at the same time he said: We see that it has acted with closed hands in this field and has not been able to prevent the progress of this fire and this inefficiency. It is the basis of the news.

Comparing fires in California with fires in Gaza

Abedini mentioned that one of the important points discussed in the virtual space is the comparison of this fire with the arson in Gaza and said: It is said that the amount of these fires is equal to the size of the fire in Gaza. But Gaza reached this situation in 14 months, and in California it was about four days!

Why is the story of the California fire in the world’s news circles?

These issues are going hand in hand in the world’s news circles, but the reason why it is widely covered in the world’s media is because it is an outstanding event with a lot of news value; So now we see that several cameras are used to record fire scenes and their images are broadcast.

Abedini called mismanagement in the United States one of the most important issues that are discussed in the media; It is said that America did not need an atomic bomb to destroy itself and only a match has created such problems for this country.

Western media have a double standard

This media expert talked about the American media’s efforts to avoid fueling fake news in the news about the fire, at the same time, he pointed out their double standards for similar events and said: It seems that when a natural disaster occurs, a group with Spreading fake images and fake news will fuel people’s anxiety. Unfortunately, in some countries, we are witnessing that the media space, without research and investigation, quickly share any information they get and do not adhere to social responsibility. In connection with this fire, we also see that despite the fact that many figures and celebrities live in the same area, they rarely criticize the mismanagement; Although almost everyone knows there is definite mismanagement, most try to calm down.

In the meantime, Abedini also pointed out another point: “Of course, the story is also in another way, and that happens to be the ones who make the most sarcasm in relation to other countries and pour salt on the wounds of the people in a natural crisis, who are inclined towards America. . The people of Iran have a mental history, if God forbid this happens in Iran, they will engage in fake news, lying and sarcasm that draw a line from the United States, England or the Zionist regime, and this is a psychological discussion that is used to attack any event. national authority of other countries and use to create social crisis. But if the same issue is analyzed in Persian language networks, you will see that they try to justify this incident and make it appear to be a completely natural action. Although this did not happen in other countries, but in some cases it shows a double standard for similar events. The same is the case with other issues, you see that in a country, a person is introduced as a terrorist, but he has not yet been removed from the terrorist list, and they pledge allegiance to him. The same goes for human rights and women’s rights. Elections are not held in a country, but they establish strategic relations with it, they do not have relations with the country that holds elections; All this shows the double standards that Westerners usually have towards other countries.
