"The experts said crimes outlined in documents released by the US justice department were committed against a backdrop of supremacist beliefs, racism, corruption and extreme misogyny. The crimes, they said, showed a commodification and dehumanisation of women and girls."

@wdlindsy The Guardian is the first major outlet I see that brings this UN press release to a mass media audience.
I saw this nearly two days ago (in the fediverse), and while many German Mastodonians appreciated the news, I wondered why that's not a story that grabs journalists at major outlets all over the world. (In German, only a few minor outlets took the news agency text to their audience.)
