Last week the terrorists struck again…..it was Paris then Brussels and now Istanbul…….the MSM in the first two were wall to wall coverage and for at least a week of solid coverage…..every possible witness was talked with and every possible angle was analyzed by the wealth of terrorism “experts”…..

Of course there was the outpouring of sympathy from around the world……not so much for the Istanbul attack…..

Within hours of the deadly assault on Istanbul’s Ataturk international airport, analysts and experts were looking for someone to blame. Most cited lapses in airport security or Turkey’s precarious situation given the long-standing conflicts in Iraq and Syria.

The threat faced by Turkey from the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) is real. Major attacks in Turkey attributed to ISIS have killed some 150 people in the past 12 months. Rocket attacks from ISIS-held territory into Turkish border towns are frequent. ISIS did not officially claim responsibility for Tuesday’s attack, but the Turkish authorities pointed the finger.

Source: Why isn’t Turkey getting the same sympathy as Paris after attack?

Today this horrific attack which is the largest airport attack in history….has all but slipped from the headlines…..why is this?  Why the lack of concern that was shown just recently?

Knowing the region and the countries I would like to offer a couple of insights…..

First, Turkey is being a bit authoritarian and limited the press…that could account for the lack of coverage…..

Second and this one I pray is not the correct one….Turkey is a Muslim country….so anything happening there is NOT as important or horrific than the happenings in other European countries.

I will admit that the limited amount of speculation was a bit refreshing…..but this incident deserves the same focus that has been given of all the other attacks this year.
