I need some inconsistency

An amalgamation of content: the aim not to politicise, but exercise. I'll think aloud about politics, technology, current news, as well as being a gay boy and what that really entails.

Why is it that stories like this are never the TOP story

"At Least 45 Dead as Bomb Blasts Hit Crowded District of Bombay"
BOMBAY, Aug. 25 At least 45 people were killed and 135 were wounded today when two powerful car bombs detonated in the heart of India's commercial capital, the police said. The blasts occurred minutes apart, the first in a crowded shopping district, the second in a small parking lot just next to the Gateway to India, the British-built monument that is perhaps the archetypal symbol of this city.
It's just horrific. But then at the same time, if this were a US bombing, would you have Bloomberg news saying, just hours after the attack:
"``Something like this just keeps in the back of your mind that the threat of terrorism hasn't gone away,'' said George Adell, director of research at Philadelphia-based Starboard Capital Management, an institutional brokerage firm. "
It seems that a large amount of American news is put out without considering the offense that it could and most probably will cause around the world. An objective viewpoint, an attempt to see how someone else would feel, would be appreciated once in a while.
