If we can get away from reflexive and increasingly meaningless accusations of "racism" for a moment, consider the following. Isn't it possible, in fact extremely likely, that news agencies in the Middle East may have devoted more airtime and column inches to the recent Beirut bombings than to the Bataclan massacre? Is it really that surprising that people pay closer attention to things happening "nearby", in global terms? Your average person living in Britain, or anywhere in western Europe, is more likely to have a personal connection to France than they are to Lebanon. Three people I know - one French, two British - were in Paris when the attacks happened.
That's not to say there isn't an important conversation to be had about the media filter and how much attention is paid to certain events and why. But in the aftermath of the massacre I saw a number of people who weren't so much interested in having that conversation as they were in trying to make people who were feeling shocked and saddened by the atrocity feel worse by branding them "racist", and then patting themselves on the back for their achievement. And then there was endlessly repeated charge that "the media" (what, all of it?) hadn't reported the Beirut atrocities at all, which was flat-out untrue.
