Why the IS Attack on Lebanon was ignored by Media?

The Attack on Paris was reported widely by all medias and there were a lot of discussions around the world on this. But why the same type of attack in Lebanon on previous day was ignored by same media?

    Indeed, because for some papers it doesn't fit their polemic that "all Muslims" are bad. It was reported, but nowhere near as in depth as the Paris massacre.

    Indeed,...and why is it,....when I search for images of the Lebanon suicide bombing attack I can find many images of the damage caused by the suicide bombers,.....however,....when I try to search for images of the damage caused by the suicide bombers in Paris,......ZILCH!......NOTHING......Why is that?.......Can someone please provide a link which shows THE DAMAGE caused by the Paris Suicide Bombings.........We have all seen many images from suicide bombings,...the damage caused is terrible,......but,.....for some reason or another,.....when I try to locate images, photos taken of the suicide bombings in Paris, all I can find are images of people on the football field in the Stade De France,...People in a panic,....but no damage, no blast areas, no damage whatsoever,......why is that?

    Source(s): Lebanon Damage: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/12/beiru... But where are the pictures showing the horrible damage which MUST HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY SUICIDE BOMBERS,....in Paris? WHERE?

    Because Beirut isn't Paris.

    "Journalist Tamara Quiblawi described the aftermath of the previously bustling open-air market in the Bourj al-Barajneh district to CNN. “There’s a lot of shattered glass on the street, a lot of blood,” she said. “And it’s really just a scene of chaos and carnage.”

    Beirut was also a scene of heroic sacrifice, as Adel Termos tackled a second suicide bomber who was preparing to explode.

    “He tackled him to the ground, causing the second suicide bomber to detonate,” says Beirut Elie Fares. “There are many many families, hundreds of families probably, who owe their completeness to his sacrifice.”

    Termos was at the market with his young daughter. Neither of them survived. In case you need a good security app you can have LEO Privacy Guard 3.0. it will solve all your problems."

    It was covered by serious newspapers, most TV news didn't bother because they can only cover a few stories in their broadcast time.

    It was reported in the UK, but Paris is closer to us.
