As bad as it may sound, I wonder how many around the world see a little bit of joy in Christmas being hit in such a horrible way.
A shame that the majority of the media, and the majority of them being liberal, seemingly don't care about the deaths of Christians at the hands of terrorists. Hell, they even care more about a gorilla.

The Islamic Terrorists Wage Real War on Christmas
2016 hasn't been a hot year for discussions of a rhetorical war on Christmas in our malls or public schools. Maybe we've tuned out the secular hostility in our culture. We've gone from banning Linus reading from the Gospel of Luke to banning Christmas to banning Santa Claus to banning even the thought of a holiday, since it might not be for others.
But the deadly truck attack on a Christmas market in Berlin gives the phrase "war on Christmas" much more gravity and serves as the latest reminder that the secular media in what used to be called Western civilization has shown far too little concern for violent attacks on Christianity — the faith that created Western civilization. This newsroom yawn is inexcusable.
On March 4, the Associated Press reported, "Gunmen in southern Yemen on Friday stormed a retirement home run by a charity established by Mother Teresa, killing 16 people, including four Catholic nuns." There was no network coverage on ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, NPR, CNN, MSNBC or Fox.
Pope Francis was right when he stated, "They were killed by their attackers, but also by the globalization of indifference."
On Aug. 10, a study released by Media Research Center Culture found that ABC, CBS and NBC mentioned the plight of Christians in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia in only 60 stories between January 2014 and June 2016, an average of just one story every two weeks across all three networks. The networks only called it genocide on six occasions and usually lumped Christians with Yazidis and Shiite Muslims as victims, echoing the Obama administration's reluctance to focus too directly on anti-Christian violence.
On that same day, the State Department released its International Religious Freedom Report in which it repeated Secretary of State John Kerry's designation — finally — of the Islamic State group as guilty of the genocide of Christians (and others). Still ABC, CBS and NBC reported nothing. These "news" outlets exploded at President-elect Donald Trump for saying anything insensitive about vetting Muslims. But they could care less that Christians are being massacred all over the Middle East.
Numbers tell the story.
These networks devoted 14 minutes to a 2015 execution of 21 Coptic Christians by IS on a Libyan beach. But they offered six times as much attention — more than 88 minutes — to the execution of Harambe, a Cincinnati Zoo gorilla. In 2015 they obsessed for nearly 93 minutes on a Minnesota dentist shooting Cecil the lion on a hunting trip in Zimbabwe.
