nooooo the media in the west cares about when something happens in the west, sooo terrible
An accurate map would include countries like Japan (e.g. 2011 earthquake) and South Korea (e.g. 2022 crowd crush) in the "top coverage" category, but that doesn't fit with the narrative.
i don't know any songs about the tohoku earthquake
Yeah unironically a western-centric take by OP.
Remember: the United States and your precious media is on the same periphery in non-english speaking countries as they are to us.
The US influence on other places is outsized, sure, but only when compared to other cultures influence on us, not compared to local culture.
