Terrorism takes diverse forms and attracts different levels of attention.... At the time of writing, the New Zealand city of Christchurch is reeling from an attack on Muslims by what appears to be a white supremacist. The death toll, still rising, currently stands at 49, with a similar number of injured being treated in hospital. The targets were Muslims taking part in Friday worship at two mosques in Christchurch, who were mown down by a man with semiautomatic weapons and evidently support by certain accomplices.... The international news agencies are running hot with reports of the Christchurch attacks. Britain's Sky News and BBC World are covering the situation in detail, as are the American chains CNN and CNBC. Al-Jazeera from Qatar is reporting in similar vein, interviewing witnesses, drawing on the perspectives of commentators worldwide, broadcasting certain images of ambulances rushing victims to hospitals, giving a voice to the New Zealand Prime Minister and police authorities, and a host of other details of reporting.
On the other hand, stark differences can be noticed in the level of world attention devoted to another recent massacre in Africa. On the morning of March 4, Christian communities in three villages in Benue State in northern Nigeria were attacked by Muslim Fulani militants. However, these tragedies in northern Nigeria attracted little international attention. Sky News, BBC World, CNN, CNBC and Al-Jazeera were all silent with regard to these terrible events in Nigeria. As a result, the world's TV viewers were left knowing nothing about the massacres in Africa, in contrast to the worldwide attention given to the massacres in New Zealand.
Of course the world should lament the tragic events in New Zealand. Of course the loss of Muslim lives is as appalling as the loss of Christian lives. But the relative disinterest among the international media with the ongoing persecution of Christians in parts of Africa is deeply troubling, suggesting far more than inadequate media access. Hard questions should be asked why the world's media is so much more interested in a massacre of Muslims in New Zealand than ongoing massacres of Christians in Africa.

~~~~~~
Why doesn't our media cover the ongoing massacres and relocations of the Muslims in China's northwestern Provinces? Does our trade with China have something to do with it? Does the fact that the leader of the Massacre in New Zealand stated his admiration for China's policies against Muslims have anything to do with the reason that his manifesto has been censored by the American press?
Why doesn't the media cover massacres of Christians in Nigeria? Is it because Black Lives Don't Matter to Progressive Marxist Socialist Leftists? The Left only pretends to care about African American lives in order to get votes. Nigerians can't vote ergo they get no coverage.
There wont be the same attention paid to the slaughter of Christians anywhere because it doesn't suit the lefts agenda. I remember not long ago 2000 Christians slaughtered on the beaches in Syria, the newscaster segues into international donut day so fast I thought I was hearing things.
As the news continues, this isn't what the left across the globe really wants to discuss particularly when it involves Christians and Jews. It turns out the man who planned this is a self-proclaimed eco-fascist who hates Trump and is an admirer of the PRC (People's Republic of China). I wonder why he wasn't taken down in a hail of bullets but such is the irony of life...it should have made it through at least one news day cycle without this discovery. It's no wonder the mainstream media wants to shut down all speech that doesn't echo their own.
If not for double standards, Big Media would have no standards other than the obvious bias and self-promotion.


Deadliest shootings in world history:

Garissa University College Attack, Garissa, Kenya, 2015 - 149
Peshawar School, Peshawar, Pakistan, 2014 - 148
Paris Attacks, France, 2015 - 130
Norway Attacks, 2011 - 77
Westgate Shopping Mall, Nairobi, Kenya 2013 - 67
Las Vegas, USA, 2017 - 58
Uiryeong County, South Korea 1982 - 56
Orlando Nightclub, USA, 2016 - 49
Christchurch Mosques, New Zealand, 2019 - 49
Sousse Beach, Tunisia 2015 - 38​

One of the worst mass shootings in history: New Zealand tragedy claims 49 - same as Orlando in 2016 | Daily Mail Online

The left PRETENDS they don't understand my very similar thread. The sane world sees the double standard.
