Yeah, that's pretty much the case. It's kinda funny that now, in the Indian news, there are articles denouncing the racism of media coverage of the Ukraine situation. Namely, statements to the effect of "I'd expect this in Iraq, but not here", or "I can't believe this is happening in Europe and not the Third World", etc.
This kind of attitude is pretty telling of how the legacy media considers war and disorder to be the default state for countries outside Europe and North America... particularly nations that have endured EU and US aggression for decades. So it's not just that the media outlets have picked up this particular conflict as their current ratings milker, but they have explicitly ignored or downplayed conflicts benefiting their own patron states. Funny how that works.
But, muh whataboutism... /s
