Profit means more than people so it would seem

I know. I was seeing loads of irrelevant updates last night and then I see a picture of kids bodies bundled up as a result of what's going on. Really puts things into perspective. Load of ****e really what the news prioritises.

People are more interested in Garth Brooks than what's happening in the Middle East - the media are giving them what they want.

Why must news outlets follow your hierarchy of news??

If anything, surely the ongoing disaster in Syria should trump the casualties in Palistine?

Im sick to death of hearing about Gareth pox Brooks feck the media

Barack Obama is trying to broker a ceasefire between them.

Meanwhile, a group of residents in Dublin said they planned on calling on him to convince Brooks to play the concerts.

Some people need to be shaken violently and given a clatter across the face for good measure.

It seems people don't really care. Sure in Ireland, there's been massive cuts to charity organisations that didn't even make news because Garth Brooks has taken over the country!

Must really infuriate you that there will be people more concerned with your spelling and grammar than whether or not Garret Brooks or Palestine are on the front page.

Garth Brooks will soon be forgotten about. People will look back and laugh.

Palestinians will always have bombs falling from the sky.

at the nuclear reactor

Hamas terrorists launched three powerful rockets at an Israeli nuclear power plant on Wednesday — a terrifying escalation of hostilities in the increasingly violent conflict.
But a nuclear disaster was averted when Israel’s vaunted Iron Dome defense system shot one of the rockets out of the sky and the other two missed their targets and detonated on the ground without causing any injuries.

“Hamas will pay a heavy price for firing toward Israeli citizens. The security of Israel’s citizens comes first. The operation will expand and continue until the fire toward our towns stops and quiet returns.”

Hopefully not always.

It would have helped them this time if Hamas hadn't kidnapped three israeli boys and shot them, ditto the morons who murdered the palistinian boy in revenge. But what really went against them was the lobbing of rockets into Israel.

BeerWolf

Palestine conflict is "Old News", so by according to media isn't front page material.

Sad fact really.

But of recent, there's the mentions of rockets from the Gaza.

There is no proof Hamas did that btw.... There are groups who are far worse than Hamas starting to emerge. Either way awful crime.

Hamas' missiles wouldn't smudge the paintwork on any nuclear reactor - let alone an Israeli one.

Its the middle east. They are doing that sh*t constantly, so its not news per se. If those people started behaving peacefully and quitely then maybe we should have a front page for them.

I bet that this thread fizzles out far sooner than even the first Garth Brooks threads, we have at least two Brooks thread running and by implication, this is one as well.

Not entirely SFW, but is this what's meant to be on all the front pages?

My reference was to the inncoent deaths of many young palestinian children due to Israeli 'Surgical strikes' on one of the most densely populated areas of the world.Lots of collateral damage.

Almost a hundred dead and hundreds injured,the tollwill rise further before the Israelis are finsihed.

at the last count there were NO Israeli fatalities

Why is that?

Is it:

a) Hamas do not want to kill Israelis?
b) Israel's missiles are more effective, but consequently more deadly than Hamas'

c_man

Op, it's not Garth's fault. Sadly, Palestinians being killed by Israelis isn't exactly shocking news whereas a country gone mad in the head is.

I heard about the Israel strike on the cafe, killing people watching the World Cup semi-finals. Something similar happened here two decades ago and we remember it as a massacre. Happens in Gaza and it's a 'surgical strike'.

The media(especially the British media) gave far more coverage to the kidnapped Israeli teenagers than the revenge murder of the Palestinian. Also they never gave any coverage to the 5 or so Palestinians that died at the hands of the Israelis just before the kidnapping of the Israeli teenagers.

Its as if Israelis are superior human beings to the Palestinians.

I'm aboslutelty sick of seeing the type of crap posted in the OP. It's been regurgitated by some folks I have on facebook. It's just like that Kony stuff and shares to cure cancer all over again.

The media and news should be primarily directed towards local issues. For us Garth Brooks currently makes a part of that. But as stated in here and some other threads there are more concerning Irish issues which should have a higher presence in our news prodding at those who should be accountable.

Honestly, fúck Isreal, fúck Palestine. There have been attempts to direct peace between them yet they are always twitching, waiting to let loose on each other. It doesn't matter any more who's right or wrong over there.

'Oh my god, they're profiting on people's misery!'

Newspapers report 'trash news' :
