A Palestinian protester in a wheelchair was shot in the head by an Israeli sniper. Maybe it'd have made the news had the roles been reversed

I take it you don't consider Newsweek to be a news outlet?

Oh my bad. I meant the TV news. Online is a different kettle of fish. Had it been the other way round it would be headline news for a couple of days and Israel would be carpet bombing Gaza.

Just the top two news channels in the US bring in 5 million viewers and then there's the printed press that churns out the same stuff.
