10. You are grasping at the wrong straw.

The Paris attacks are STILL 24/7 on the MSM.
How much TV time was spent on Beirut?

In the USA, if it isn't BLASTED on the TV,
it never happened.

I understand your anger,
but you have placed the blame on the relatively innocent (captives of their TV sets),
and completely ignored the real source.

Maybe YOU should post a thread of condolence and grief for those killed or injured and their families in Beirut?
It is better to do something than to curse the darkness.
