Let's take stock of a few things:
-Syria has been in the American media, daily, for months.
-Syria is in a civil war
-The purpose of war is to kill
-Therefor, unless a bombing or murder of civilians is (somehow) relevant to the overall progression of the general conflict, it's not going to get much major media coverage.
-America has several times the population of Syria
-America has several times the GDP of Syria
-Bombings of civilians in America are an anomaly
-America is home to many, many globally significant media outlets
...
Or were you referring to the reaction on this board? If that's the case, it might have
something to do with the ratio of Syrians to Americans on it. Just a wild guess.
