This is a clever little experiment in how a news report of the attack on Charlie Hebdo might read if the western media treated the victims as foreigners in some far-off Third World country. Notice how little sympathy or compassion one feels for the 12 dead when they are described in this technical fashion. Now try to imagine how Muslims in France or Britain or the US might feel at seeing the deaths of other Muslims being described day-in, day-out by their media in such a clinical way. Warning: this will require from you a degree of empathy. Some people may prefer to exercise that muscle a little before they try this experiment at home. counterpunch.org/2015/01/09/if-paris-killers-had-western-media-on-their-side/
