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.

All covered quite extensively. NYTimes had feature stories on both as they unfolded along with Washington Post. And actually I think all 3 cable channels covered them as well, but keep this in mind...

Egypt, while not on the "banned list" is a terrorist country and the Phillipines, also not on the list, has been becoming infested of the past year with ISIS. Much about this I have seen and read.

The stories from an accepted and approved terrorist country will never get the coverage that a Christian nation will get.

Egypt has long been considered a "terrorist" country.

I just need to weigh in when I see the media criticized with no basis in fact....I am sorry. Again, it is not just a small group that condemns terrorism
