dis,

The Peru quake gump mentions comes to mind. I mean, sure, of course a few people dying in Peru vs a few people trapped in US, the US story is gonna get way more coverage. But six people trapped in a mine vs hundreds of people dead in an earthquake? It just seems like the earthquake should be the much bigger story, even if it is in Peru.

And endless war and starvation going on in Africa. I do agree that priorities are messed up, but it's farther away, the people don't speak the same language, it's costly to send the local reporter out there and look serious, there are no individual family members to speak at press conferences, and it's going to be harder for the viewer to identify with the story.

I don't know what to do to change all that.
