Roughly at the same time as the Boston bombings,
at least 55 people killed and 300 injured.
Where's the love for these people?

What's going on in the world? Why can't everybody just live and let live?
Bring the noise.

As to why the Boston marathon got more press than Iraq, it's because America is not, and has not, been a warzone for many years.

I know, but the value of the lives lost in Boston should not be higher than those in Iraq because of that reason.
For me even more reason to focus on Iraq because there is still no sign of improvement.
Thought I'd share this news as well considering you won't find it as easy.

Not broadcasting this is a huge mistake by Western Media, it's not even on any page on the BBC website which is shocking!

I agree, but I was just explaining why it isn't covered as much.

It's not really shocking as it's been like this for years.

The reaction is only natural. Not that people dying in some parts of the world is less importante, it`s just that people are used to it and it`s also far away.
When things happen close to us, then they become different: we have to live with them.
