very smart 
why media 
1-do not report what is going on in saudia arabia and other gulf countries
2-why media does not report how many lebanese are in Israeli jails unjustly
3-why media never reported about repression in Iraq before the invasion of
kuwait
4-why media does not report about the popularity of the red Indians now vs. 50
years ago
5-why media never discussed in depth the fact that 96% of red indians on
reservation camps are unemployed
6-why media (your beloved western media) directly or indirectly was finding
execuses for the coup in Algeria after the elections
7- if the Bosnians were christians and the serbs were muslims how the media and
yourself would have reacted?
.
.
. and the list never ends. next time try to think when you listen to western
media or people who just repeat blindly what the western media is saying
