Of course, but I think this is a completely normal psychological process. Humans react to the things that are out of the ordinary. The fact that bombings have becoming ordinary in the Middle East is shameful, of course, and needs to be addressed. But that is not up to the media.<p>What one could do though on an individual level is being aware and conscious about news reports from other parts of the world, and acknowledge them. Personally, this is exactly what I did with the news about the Beirut attack, even before the thing in Paris happened.
