The problem is “selective compassion”.
There is a lot of war and suffering and has been since homo sapiens walked out of the caves—the issue is what folks choose to get concerned about and what they don’t.
If the mass media drives your “compassion” then you are a sucker for propaganda.
Media, mass or otherwise does not drive my compassion. My compassion comes from my humanity and religion, not political polls, or whether or not George Soros happens to like some nation, and I have compassion for victims, not perpetrators.
