I do think to some degree I understand that. Attacks in Europe and North America get more focus in mainstream European and North American news because it's on our doorstep. I'm sure Middle Eastern press focuses more on terror that happens close to home for them. News outlets do tend to report on the stuff that is most immediate to them, it takes very big shit to happen in any given place for it to hit the news in a far away country.
But I do stand by what I said, there's plenty of coverage and information on the internet of world events, and if the mainstream media isn't reporting on something then people have to take it upon themselves to get educated. I don't want to hear you complaining about how "Belgium and France got a flag on Facebook!!! Waaaaah!" or that it got more coverage than simultaneous attacks in other countries, when you could very easily upload any flag you want as your Facebook profile picture and use your own platform to spread news.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
