You should watch the DVD "Manufacturing Consent" about Noam Chomsky. He discusses East Timor, and the suffering they've gone through and how at the same time Indonesia was slaughtering and torturing those people there was virtually no coverage in the American media, but in the killing fields of Cambodia at roughly the same time, the newspapers were filled with information. He talks about how it benefits certain people to direct the direction of the news and to leave out things they don't want.
