The press does give too much time to the tragedy, but it also largely whitewashes the historical context and the fact that the West is killing far more people in the Middle East either directly or indirectly than so called terrorists ever do. How many newspapers had a go at the leaders - most of whom are authoritarian murderers -over their hypocrisy for only now seemingly managing to find an emotion? When it's state sponsored terror we love to turn a blind eye. But a few Europeans and the world must stop spinning. It is galling in its hypocrisy.
