What is the measuring stick with which to measure the bias that is evident in
the media these days? Through the Huffington Post I found out that there have
been 176 children killed because of US Drone Strikes in and around Pakistan but
none of this makes the main stream news. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert..._2224627.html). Nothing
mentioned on most of the major news sites:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/search/news/?q=...ike%20pakistan
http://edition.cnn.com/search/?query...l=true&x=0&y=0
http://www.reuters.com/search?blob=c...d+drone+strike
BBC
and Reuters have no mentions from the results of the drone strikes and CNN gives
it a cursory mention. Contrast this with the Conneticut shootings and they are
front page on all of the news sites. Is one life less valuable than another?
