... the disruption of life for thousands of people, starvation, ripple effect of violence, and destruction of basic infrastructure necessary for life? Are the lives of some populations worth less than the lives of others?

Hyzakyt: I beg to differ. There is no greater religious or spiritual question we can be asking ourselves than the value of a human life. And I am not talking about abortion.

Because media is funded by advertising, and advertisers and the consumers they solicit are impacted by economic issues.
In addition, the ripple effect of a large economic impact would also have a very serious impact on the citizens of nations with very small per capita economies.

Because many of us are so enmeshed in our own spoiled little American lives and "family values" that all we can think about is how we are affected at the gas pump and how our pay checks may be impacted. Too, we are actually threatened by other religions. Its tragic to realize that on the other side of the world countless people are being killed and we can do nothing about it. Will we ever realize the importance of peace and love for others regardless of race, nationality, and religion? When will we learn to value all families as fellow members of the human race? Not in our lifetime, if ever.

Of course they're worth less than the lives of others. Those affected countries aren't human beings, they're "cheap labour", and they're usually not "white".
We don't live in a democracy of "one man one vote", it's "one dollar one vote". The wealthy and corporations decide who and what is important, and it's the wealthy and corporations who own the media.

The media will follow anything that is negative, you see negative info is popular and people like to hear it! Why do you think so many people are negative, it makes it's money on gossip and death, wars...

There is nothing religious or spiritual about this question. Otherwise it's a good question.
