Coverage of school masacre in Pakistan?

This was such a heinous crime. But I'm finding it very curious that it was pretty much just mentioned for 1 day and then totally dropped.
Anyone else notice that? It seems so unlike our media. Seems like we could have shown a little more sympathy for those people.....if only to mention it briefly for a little while.

I am still seeing it on various media and trying to avoid it. Last thing was video of the school and the rooms showing all the bullet holes. My imagination is just fine. I dont need the pictures shown over and over.

I usually watch CBS news in the morning, and NBC at 6:30p.m. Maybe I've just missed it, but maybe it was towards the end of the broadcasts, which I usually don't watch. It's not that I need to see gruesome things or be reminded of tragedies. I just thought it was curious that it didn't seem to mention it anymore (at least on the news that I watch), which is unusual for such a tragic event.

for something so massive i think coverage has been light. it is natural we pay attention to our own tragedies more than in another country, but still this is up there with anything else that has happened this year. i do notice that news about terrorist violence is reported more cautiously in some ways? i am not a news watcher really. i wonder if the light reporting is related to not wanting the terrorists to get attention or if it is just being focused on our own part of the world

I don't know.........maybe something's being planned (on our side, with allies) that we don't want to show our hand?
It would be great to think we could annihilate these monsters in toto.

Still on UK media.

My SIL and her family live in Peshawar (they are all fine, thanks). There is much buzz there and on the internet that this could be a watershed moment. The 180 million or so Pakistanis who are not part of the taliban are apparently beginning to express the sentiment that enough is enough and certainly that this act was way over the line. There are people in Pakistan now starting to question why 60,000 or so radicals are able to exercise so much control over 180+ million. Personally, I hope the movement grows and successfully crushes the taliban.

The best coverage I've seen is on Al Jazeera America; they always have good international coverage.
