That doesn't make sense to me ... Israel gets more coverage than China and Russsia because it's a democracy and they aren't?

- yyyk 5y agoIf you go to Russia and report something too negative for too long, you'll probably be expelled and never be allowed in again. But there's a chance Putin would invite you to drink his special tea. If not you, your sources. Or that you'll feel so full of guilt for your slanderous reporting you'll spontaneously decide to jump out of a window. Obviously reporters prefer safe and easy locations. Israel lets you be in a warzone but be in relatively little risk.
- mcintyre1994 5y agoIsrael is considered extremely important to the US because the US cares a lot about having influence in the Middle East. Being extremely important to the US gets them a lot of coverage in US media.
