How come in western media(especially American) they are obsessed with depicting the poverty of developing countries? For example when they show India they depict the many living in slums and crowded streets...why??? How come you don't often see them depict the 400 million (and still growing) middle class lifestyle of India? The MANY millionaires in India? Or perhaps the 36 billionaires in India(Most in Asia)? Why are westerners so obsessed with the poverty of other countries? I'm just curious because the media seems to be extraordinarily closed minded.
 
I don't think it's close minded to want to help those people especially when you've just pointed out that they are the majority...
