Why is it so with BBC/CNN?

It may not be the only news people want to hear but he middle east is the news people want most ot hear. If you were a news agency would you do the news people watch when they get sick of watching the middle east or would you rather cover the middle east where people watch so much they get sick of it?

Of course it isn't the only place with news or that is newsworthy.

but as the current hot spot, news correspondents/reporters/journalists are covering that story, because it is big. It gives those people a higher chance of getting on-air (broadcast) time.

Of course, that creates a cycle of "we see more about this area" so "it becomes an even hotter spot" so "more journalists go there", etc.

Well sameer, which region has the biggest oil deposits in the world? Which region buys the most weapons? Which region contributes to the buffers of the major military powers?

The middle east of course..there you go...the camera is where the cash cow is.

it's a hot topic right now... so they show what's hot now. who said anything about being newsworthy?

cuz there r always wars
