Why is it that a reporter gets shot?

                                            Why is it that a reporter gets shot?

Yaser Murtaja, a Palestinian news reporter wearing a big blue vest with the word PRESS on it gets shot in the middle of the day."The 30-year-old journalist was one of nine people killed and more than 1000 injured" according to Common Dreams site.  Nobody in the western countries condemn the act. It simply was less than a subtitle. Who chooses what gets aired or reported to us? Do they decide whose life matter or whose life is worth being mentioned? Some people of the west might think enough negative news gets reported about our country, why worry about others? In reality if as a nation we are going to be involved in other countries politics, the least we can do is be transparent when reporting. [1 image, 1 quotation,1 link, 134 words].
