it's easier to remove yourself of emotion from places you have never been and people you don't know. It's nothing new, it's the reason we are so easily lured into war. What things like the internet and added news coverage (the responsible kind, it is out there) is helping with is it is putting a face to places that we may have never thought of before. There is still a long way to go obviously ;)
Did you know that Turkey houses the location of the city of Troy? The legends of that battle i'm sure were pretty exaggerated through history and the iliad, but without the internet, or some good historical tv shows I may have gone a lifetime never knowing that. I may have gone a lifetime never wanting to go there.
