How come on the front cover of a local newspaper every three or four days there is something talking about 5-10 people dead in a middle-east car bomb or other bombs? There are dozens of people dying every few days in America, but that's almost never on the front cover of the newspaper.

Because the government cares more about foreigners dying in a far-off land while killing our own soldiers, instead of our own citizens dying domestically.

Meet Red. 1. You wake up wearing a gown, you get pulled up, and you pushed through some curtains. Lights blind you for a moment, but you notice you’re on a fashion runway. Camera people cue you to get moving. How do you react? (Same thing for guys, but instead of a dress, you wake up wearing a suit.) I get the hell out of there as soon as all the eyes are off me. Try to do what the sticks do down the catwalk until I get off. Chances are there'd be Stand-Ins there, and being seen by them is a risk I wouldn't like to take, so I couldn't stay in the spotlight for long. 2. How are your acting skills? (As in for a play, drama, movie, etc.) My acting skills are excellent. I've never been in any of those, though. 3. How do you like your popcorn? I don't mind. 4. Which do you think are stronger - your arms or your legs? That thoroughly depends on the form I'm using at the time. 5. If you walked into a daycare center and saw the antagonist working there, how would you react? I'd be rather surprised, as he never leaves his home. 6. If you read a local newspaper and saw your closest friend on the front page for burning a playground, how would you react? I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest, but I don't see how she could have been on the front page recognizable to me. She'd hardly be likely to give her real name, and if I didn't know what she looked like when she was caught, how would I recognize the picture the cops took? 7. If a stranger gave you their baby and asked you to watch it for a minute and that she’d be right back, but didn’t come back and it’s been five hours, what would you do? I wouldn't take the baby in the first place, and I don't stay anywhere where I could meet a stranger for five hours. I certainly wouldn't just ******* stand there and wait to get caught for the sake of someone's kid. 8. You come home after a long day and you find a pair of beat up shoes sitting on your floor. You don’t recognize them at all. Then you notice a huge lump under the covers of your bed. How do you react? I'd shout for them to show themselves. If it wasn't someone I know, I'd shoot them. No one comes into my house. 9. Describe a relaxing day for you. A day where nothing happens whatsoever. 10. The antagonist, ahem, persuades you to join this parade coming up. You can either sing or dress up as a pretty flower. Which do you choose? I don't go. It would be a trap. BQ: Have any songs inspired anything to do with your story recently? If so, what song? All Lostprophets songs.

This is called sensationalism. The media does this to sell more papers, and more news coverage. How dull it would be for them if they had to report that a baby was killed by a drowning accident. There was a three car pile up and no one survived. Someone had a baby and it was born dead. A person that was dearly loved by their family has died. These are not the big stories, they don't involve sensationalism. They do not make huge stories or sell papers. So they could care less.

Good question the answer is there are millions of people dying all over the world everyday but the war in the middle east affects the very stability of world peace.
This is more about the destruction of a country and the people who die because of that.
People die in america, but your country isn't being blown to rubble.

cos all the people dieing in America die all the time..... The people in the middle east don't and there deaths are politically motivated as opposed to murders. Political violence can change the world radically, murders will always happen.

when 10-15 people die in america in one place at one time, they'll report it. We live on a planet, not a country. You can't live in a bubble.
One of the answers referenced a liberal press. What has that a**hole been watching since 2001?

The media has been trying to kill any war effort since Vietnam.
