Why is it that we never hear about Uganda, where the problems are many times worse than in the middle east? The left doesn't seem to be any more interested in Africa than the right is...

The "left" is allowing itself to be defined by the actions of the right - and even in the neo-cons wildest dreams - Uganda has never been a major threat or opportunity for the USA.

We never hear about Uganda??

We never hear about Sudan. We never hear about Congo. We never hear about Myanmar.

All would be somewhat fair. But I have been deluged with Uganda news from the American left, ever since that anti-gay law and the links to American evangelicals came to light.

The left will be the left, as Booman says. It will talk about things that fit into left wing frames. The right will do the opposite.

From what I perceive there is less of a basic concern about the truth on the right, certainly the American right that's writing stuff online, so I'm less able to get information from them.
