A VERY SAD AND STARK CONTRAST

Last weekend two incidents occured:
1. A very wealthy German F1 racing driver Michael Schumacher had an accident while skiing and is currently in an induced coma, his accident and subsequent treatment/coma headline news for days.
2. Two terrorist attacks in Volgograd on consecutive days, with over 30 people being killed. The suspect is Prince Bandar bin Sultan who during the summer threatened Putin that if Russia did not dump Assad then he, Bandar, would unleash Islamic terrorists onto the Sochi Winter Olympics. Bandar is currently running the cutthroats in Syria, who are being annihilated by The Syrian Arab Army, which is why Bandar issued his threat. Although there was some coverage in NATO media of these significant terrorist attacks, the NATO media was much more concerned with Schumacher, and appeared to blame Putin and Russia for the terrorist attacks without once mentioning Bandar's widely-reported threat.

Russia Today is reporting on someone else who, like Schumacher, is in an induced coma. But this someone is a baby girl, her name is Vika Tolkunova, and she is just 3 months old.
The residents of Russia’s Volgograd Friday buried 6 more victims of the twin blasts that killed 34 and injured over 100. Doctors are still fighting for the lives of others, including 3-month-old Vika, who was severely injured in one of the attacks

The infant Vika Tolkunova is in an induced coma in intensive care, clinging to her life. Doctors say her condition is critical, but stable.

“The baby girl remains in a coma. We’ve put her on a ventilator in intensive care. She has also sustained light, but serious brain damage. Her condition is very serious, but we’ve got it under control,” head of Children’s Clinical Hospital in Moscow Nikolay Vaganov told RT.

And I would recommend going to the webpage to see Vika in her coma...and shake your head at why the Volgograd terrorism was and still is being downplayed in favour of Michael Schumacher.

So, I ask again, why are the NATO media so concerned about the induced coma of a very wealthy German F1 racing driver who had a skiing accident in one of the most exclusive resorts, but not concerned about the induced coma of a 3 month old baby girl who was the victim of a terrorist attack that is suspected of being organised and run by our ally against Assad and who had issued widely-reported threats of unleashing Islamic terrorists on Russia?
