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?
