It's a depressing and sad truth, but the media will get far more viewers for reporting on a unique event closer to home than they would with a car bombing in the middle east which really has no effect on us.
-----------------------------------------

Not really true. The terrorist attacks on Australia, which killed 2 people, received a lot more coverage than the terrorist attack on Pakistan, which killed over a hundred children.

The neither events had anything to do with the west and both were well away from any western regions.

It's a sad truth that in the west the life of a White person is valued more than the life of a black/brown.

Kung Fu - I kind of get what you are saying, but it shocks me that anyone would be surprised by this from the mainstream British media.

I don't get annoyed by news channels and the like because i don't watch them.

TV news is based on fear and celebrity - A terrorist attack happening just across the water is much more valuable to them than a car bombing in the middle east.

It's not right, but don't be shocked by it.

'The sad truth' - It's not a truth, you've made a gross generalisation about an entire region of the world.

You are by association levelling that claim at me, which is fúcking rude.

Couldn't give a fúck if it was rude. I'm here to state facts and the truth, Dot. If that offends you then boo-fúcking-hoo.

Can you only be black/brown to be a muslim??? I thought the thread was regarding that a muslim would never kill another muslim(erm that is slightly wide of the mark) not about the colour of a persons skin

Anybody with any basic knowledge of the religion will know that this is not permissible.

Since when do Islamic extremists give a feck about what is permissible? I'm not saying this applies to this incident but trying to make out that terrorists have some sort of code of honour is just plain wrong.

Of course there will be more coverage of the killing of innocents by terrorists virtually on our own doorstep. How much press coverage do you think the Paris incident will get in Yemen today by comparison? Think about it...

Frankly, I don't like the racist tone of your article. If you have something to say then try it without the snide and sarcastic anti-UK remarks.

Opinion?! Sky News gave a whole 3 day coverage of the Australian incident, yet barely half an hours worth on the day after the Pakistan incident.

That would involve an impartial mind, of which Serial and Kung Fu clearly do not posses.

You're complaining about racism but are labelling an entire race as somehow valuing their race over others?

That's not truth, that's bigotry and delusion.

So Sky News represent 'The West'

Serial - YOU ARE PART OF THE WEST.

That means, by your very own 'fact' that you value white lives over others.

How many terrorist incidents in Pakistan in 2014? And how many in Australia?

The rare occurrence will always get more media coverage than the event that's already happened 11 times that year.

Difference between me and you is I don't like anybody having to die where as you condone it as long as it's a bloke in a British army uniform.

.............

I certainly do not condone any bloke in a British Army uniform having to die.

So, a r sehole, you have got that one wrong.

Are you equally as outraged that one case of ebola in Britain is getting much more coverage than each individual case of ebola in Africa?

------------------------------

Involving the mass murder of children. None.

Oh but i see. Because it happens a lot, it's somehow OK. That "those" people are used to it, and so it doesn't really effect them that much, right?

My point exactly.

This article pretends to be about sympathy for the victims in Yemen but it is blatantly just an excuse to have a racist rant at British people for no reason other than the fact that the OP is racist and anti-British.

Disgusting.

I'm outraged that the European community didn't actually bother with the Ebola epidemic until it reached (or at least threatened to reach) their doorstep.

And still, at this point, the richest nations in the world (that's including the Muslim states) can't be bothered about sorting out this medieval epidemic..

Though what any of this has anything to do with the discussion at hand, i think only you know.
