I imagine it's that some people get feud up when American news seems to be more important than other tragedies in other countries and a few jerks express that annoyance in an especially asshole-ish way.

Major newspapers like the New York Times do a good job of covering international news, NPR and PBS also do a great job (all NPR every talks about is Syria). We also get the BBC via PBS and NPR. So yeah, just because the big three cable news channels seem to be only able to focus on breaking news and won't stop covering it (and in this case it is a brand new story and most people want to know what happened and want to be kept informed of any new developments) doesn't mean Americans don't care about other things going on in the world.

Also, I know a lot of people online who live in Massachusetts and this affects this more directly than Syria for the moment so I can understand it taking up a lot of their attention right now

American news outlets had a lot of coverage of a bombing that took place, *gasp!*, in America? I know it's hard for some people to realize, but if a bombing happens in this country, it's going to get the most coverage. And comparing two tragedies because you have a hair across your ass about coverage is just fucking spitting in the face of those who are dead and injured.

(op from the other thread, curiously not op from this thread)

I don't live in America, it's understandable that American news cover the bombing. It's annoying that news in the rest of the world gave it so much importance, when most other international affairs are brushed off.
