The Hypocrisy of Media "Concern"

It's amazing the concern shown by the media over the shootings of some Sri Lankan people in Pakistan.

Admittedly it was a terrorist attack, but the only people killed were some Pakistani policeman and a bus driver.

Normally the media wouldn't even report such a relatively minor issue, unless it was an Australian who was killed. Even then it might be just a footnote.

Of course it would be different if it was somebody "important" like, say, a sporting team that had been targeted.

Oh yeah- I forgot.

Good to know that in the media some lives are far more important than others. No change there then.
