All his wee Trumpets (is that the term) will swallow his tweets like the gospel though

Do you think news in the Middle East is dominated by Western stories? News topics are consumer driven.

Pretty sure we've seen this discussion before.

How so? I've not agreed with what Trump said. I only said that most terrorisim is under reported.

If you are not discussing it within the context of Trump's latest claims, then I agree with you that Western terror attacks receive disproportionate news coverage - a fairly unremarkable point, however that isn't due to a media conspiracy as Trump is claiming, it's because what VS said - media outlets are consumer driven and the more local the terror incident is the more viewers the media organisation will get. It's a mix of ratings and giving their consumer base what they want. I don't think VS made a moral judgement regarding that, he was just stating the facts as he saw them, so it was unfair of you to accuse him of "not caring about brown or black people".

The problem is that "most terrorism is under-reported" is so vague and subjective as to be meaningless.

If it ignites debate and pushes the media to focus a little more on the root causes of radicalisation and fundamentalism. If it shows the masses why these people are fleeing places like Somalia then it's far from pointless.
