Remember all the attention the volcano in Iceland got? It was front page news for weeks and it was far less destructive. All it really did was affect people wanting to fly/airport closures, but we heard about it every night on BBC, CNN, etc.

yes Im sure thats just what the poor people whos lives homes have been destroyed and even died, thats all they need is for a bunch of ignorant comments from you mocking them and their country, shameful as always

I wasn't mocking them, it's the truth. I was explaining WHY major developed and highly populated countries get more attention than 3rd world countries with a much smaller population. The change or "before and after" shots are far more dramatic, and obviously the news loves drama, and obviously the media is far more sophisticated in developed countries than in 3rd world countries. New York probably has more journalists per square mile than any other place in the world.

Just like during Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans got far more news coverage than all of the smaller towns in Louisiana that were also devastated by the storm. Can you name any of the other towns destroyed by Hurricane Katrina without googling?
