[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why isn't this stuff on the news ever??

The local and national news (such as Brian Williams' NBC "Wold News") spends all this time on France, "free" college, winter weather and cold temps, and other filler stories, but there is a huge massacre and nobody bats an eye?

Is there no outrage? No protests? No acknowledgement of the atrocities?[/quote]

Reporting in northern Nigeria is notoriously difficult because of instability in the areas most affected by insurgents and the terrorists’ own hostility to the press.  Journalists have been targeted by Boko Haram and, unlike in Paris, people on the ground are isolated and struggle with access to the internet and other communications. [/quote]There is enough information for the talking heads to discuss strategy and if nothing else to raise awareness of what's going on.  I have heard numerous reports about the President's absenteeism from the rally but 2 or 3 reports about the Nigerian massacre.[/quote]
