Abstract
As neoliberal globalization dramatically increases global inequality, popular resistance erupts in most every nation. Transnational leaders, nation-state politicians, and their accommodating media often frame resistance to fit the rubric of terrorism in an attempt to win mass consent for coercion against rebellious groups. This article presents the example of the Tuareg independence movement in Northern Mali as a case study of how commercial media framing contributes to a culture of fear and thereby legitimizes military intervention against democratic social movements.
