    Our mass killings are nothing by comparison. Sad.

      Must be difficult being an MSM virtue journalist. Realizing that you need to be at least as outraged about this as about other mass killings, but realizing your audience doesn't care, and neither do you. One of those cognitive dissonance moments, quickly subdued by another voter suppression story that needs to be covered.

      Education is extremely important.

        The terrorists need to be white before the MSM pays attention.

          Well, it is true that a blond hair blue eye girl victim will get a lot more newspaper articles than others.

          The US is still a majority "European" country, so stories that involve that type of person will get more coverage.

          In 100 years from now, the majority of the people are Spanish, probably stories that involve that type of person will get more coverage.

          But, there are a lot of things that people in the US get all excited about and would probably be surprised that people in other parts of the world don't really care. Just like people in the US don't get excited about some other stories from overseas, especially if it doesn't fit the group that I talked about above.
