Have you bothered to do any sort of comparison as to how similar attacks are reported? At a quick glance, I see nothing on George W Bush's wiki page[0] about the 2002 consulate attack in Kolkata[1], for example.

Not that it's necessarily wrong for it to not be listed there, though. The article on GWB is about him and what he did as president - it isn't meant to be a complete history of the United States between 2001 and 2009.

  • I agree -- which is also why the absence of Benghazi on Obama's wiki page is not, in my view, a sign of bias.

How is that remotely similar? There was not a scandal implicating George Bush regarding the Kolkhata attack.
