You could be right. I don't watch network news so I wouldn't know. But 28 people killed in one incident, nine in another, and ten in a third and they get maybe one mention by the networks while they go on and on about Manchester. Are the lives of British subjects more valuable than people in other parts of the world or is it because it seems to make it more like it could happen here?

I really don't have any idea why the networks and most cable news outlets pick and choose their stories but it seems to me that what we get is what they want us to hear.
