On Friday, Islamic State group militants attacked several sites in Paris, killing at least 129 people and wounding many others. The tragedy was so jarring that it took Americans nearly two hours before they could even start politicizing it.
Many have complained that coverage of the Paris attacks has taken media attention away from a similar attack in Beruit. But how valid are those claims? Is there a vast pro-European media conspiracy afoot? The answer is no, but Opinion columnists Chris Campbell, Arthur Wang and Aram Ghoogasian elucidate the details in this week’s episode of “No Offense, But.”
This is what real journalism is.
