Author's POV + Purpose

The author's POV is that he thinks that it isn't fair how we paid more attention to Paris than Kenya.
"For example, the city of Beirut, Lebanon, was attacked the day before Paris was attacked. It was hit by the same violant group, Islamic State. Also known as ISIS, the group wants to start its own country under Islamic Law and has taken over parts of Syria and Iraq. Hardly anyone mentioned the Beirut attack on Facebook or Twitter." Another example is "The problem is complicated. It certainly has something to do with which stories are covered by the news."

I agree with the author, because I also don't think it's fair how the news gets to choose Paris over Kenya, everybody should be treated equally whether we know who they are or not.

The author's purpose is that he is trying to inform us about how we didn't treat both attacks equally.
"It does not matter that we do not have vacation photos taken in Keny or Beirut. We do not get to ignore the horrible killings in those places."
