President Trump asserted that that terrorist acts in Europe are going unreported, and members of his administration have even referenced nonexistent terror attacks to support their argument.

They also produced a list of 78 attacks in the West. All of them received media coverage.

But there are some deadly terrorist attacks that don't receive attention -- they just mostly happen in the Muslim world. 

Karen Greenberg is the Director of the Center on National Security at Fordham Law School. She said that an average of 3,000 stories were written about attacks in the West.
