Image shows international media’s double standards when it comes to Pakistan, Turkey

An image shared by Banksy, a fan account, quickly went viral after the terrorist attack in Istanbul

A terrorist attack on Istanbul’s main international airport that left over 40 people on Tuesday has already vanished from headlines and front pages, adding to the argument that countries like Pakistan and Turkey are not given enough media coverage in the international arena.

An image shared by a fan account of the world’s most famous graffiti artist, the elusive Banksy, went viral following the attack in Istanbul.



The image shows two people from Pakistan and Turkey consoling each other while standing next to tattered flags of their countries with blood on the floor. On the other hand, media personnel can be seen around Belgian and French flags covering terrorist attacks that occurred in those countries.
