Diane Fossey was white and noteworthy.  Roughly speaking, no whites have
any noteworthy involvement in Africa's genocides.  Worse, the victims
have virtually zilch in the way of influential white friends.  What does
the American media do with the following stories:

-Five innocents are killed in Israel/Palentine violence today, graphic
   video footage in hand

-Based on survivors' reports, the UN now estimates that 6,000 more 
   innocents were killed in inter-tribal violence in Africa

-Half the annual anti-AIDS funding in an African country has been
   stolen by the dictators' cronies; World Health Ass'n officials
   estimate that 70,000 more people will die of AIDS as a result

...my experience is that the first story gets top or near-top billing;
the other two aren't even considered for inclusion, unless a thick
newspaper has some spare room back on page 47J.  If there's no angle 
that a culturally & racially self-centered WASP can identify with, then
the victims weren't human and no crime was committed.
