When was the last time you saw the media focus on a drone attack and the aftermath of it? When was the last time you saw the BBC, CNN, or any other news media outlet dedicate hours upon hours and days upon days on a drone attack that killed innocent people in Pakistan, Yemen, or other Muslim countries? When was the last time you saw these news media outlets interview the people in those areas that were witnesses to those drone attacks that routinely kill innocent men, women, and children? You cant remember the last time because there wasnt even a first time. If all people see on the news are attacks carried out by Muslims and a complete blackout of what others (Western Governments etc) are doing, which are far more often and far worse, then of course the general public will have a very skewed understanding of reality that portrays Muslims as the frequent and unrivalled bloodthirsty aggressor. The reality is that there are undoubtedly crazy Muslims out there who are killing innocents, but if the media was to give equal air time and coverage of all attacks that target innocents, then the news would not be dominated by the actions of crazy Muslim fanatics, rather the news would be dominated by the atrocities caused by Western Governments and their allies.
