WASHINGTON, DC, November 2, 2026 - William Aaron Turner, founder and president of Infinitum Corporation, has published "Missiles, Murders and Media," an opinion commentary on Medium. It compares how much attention Western news outlets give the war in Ukraine with how much they give chronic violence and overdose deaths in American cities.

What the commentary compares

- War casualty estimates for mid-2026 from published sources.
- Homicide data for Chicago, St. Louis, Memphis and Los Angeles, from city police reports, the Chicago Tribune homicide tracker and the Illinois Policy Institute.
- U.S. overdose deaths from CDC data: more than 100,000 a year at the peak and about 79,000 in 2024.

The argument

The author argues that public attention and resources should be applied consistently wherever lives are lost. The commentary also gives his view of the origins of the war, presented as his opinion. It states that it does not seek to minimize the human cost of the war in Ukraine.

The piece is labeled as opinion and lists its sources, including CSIS, the CDC, USAFacts and city police departments.

"The question I'm asking is about consistency. If every life matters, coverage should reflect that everywhere." said William Aaron Turner, Founder & President, Infinitum Corporation.
