Where are the Media? Where is the Outrage?
Imagine, if you can, that a series of more than 24 bombings took place in two key Western cities, killing at least 40 and injuring close to 150. Imagine the media frenzy, the days of coverage, the breathless speculation, the hunt for those responsible.
So why is there hardly a mention of the terrible events of the past two days in the world’s largest democracy? From Reuters:
India’s major cities were put on high alert on Sunday, with fears of more attacks after at least 40 people were killed in two days of bombings that hit a communally-sensitive western city and a southern IT hub At least 16 small bombs exploded in the Indian city of Ahmedabad on Saturday, killing at least 39 people and wounding 110, a day after another set of [8] blasts in Bangalore killed a woman [and injured 29].
Where are the media? Where’s the outrage?
