Looking at the news, daily, it looks like the world is falling apart. War is going on all over the world and then there is a shooting every day, right here in the US. The violence with police and the Black community is hard to overlook, because Black Lives Matter, along with all others.

Outside of the police violence, the Black on Black gang violence in such cities as Chicago is also hard to look past. There is so much going on and some stories are getting no attention. Take Syria, as an example, which was recently bombed by the US and over 80 lives were taken.

The lack of media coverage has people angry and they have taken to all social media platforms, mainly Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to voice their frustrations. It is upsetting, to these people, that certain stories are shared by the media, while others are not. Meanwhile, the Syrian children have shared themselves with Pokemon images in hopes of being found.
