Often, I think, certain stories (such as Korean Hostages) receive little coverage by the media because to report that certain story would cause ill effects on some company, group, country, or person. The ill effects are usually economic.
I really don't understand why the kidnapping and murdering of Korean Christians has not been covered by the media. One could guess that our government might not want the American public to think they have blundered in Afganistan as badly as they have in Iraq. Maybe deciders think that to widely report the stories would widen the gap of animosity between Christians and other religious peoples.
Regardless, these are very sad and disturbing events and we should have access to the facts regarding the Koreans.
It is interesting to consider which stories are covered by the mainstream media and which are not. Check out this story and blog.
