Here it didn't get that much coverage. Isn't it the choice of the media to cover it or not? Israel gets lots of coverage, China, Korea and so on. You can't just say because it happens in America we have to hear it. There are tonnes of other things that happen in America that we don't hear about, just like in the rest of the world.

I couldn't have said it better myself. It is the choice of the media. You can't blame a country for what the media chooses to focus on.

Actually, most of the media is controlled by the liberals around here. You will find a few "right-wing" stations, but the majority are not. Of course all media, here and around the world, have their own agendas.

America relatively speaking, is the biggest country in the world hence why it gets so much news voerage simple as that.

If the stations in Europe, Asia etc... choose to spend more coverage on 9/11 and stuff that happens in America than places like Iran then it's got nothing at all to do with America apart from the fact that its fought it's way to get to its position.
