• What should the media have done? Ignore it?

    Yeah, why not? They were perfectly fine with ignoring hundreds of migrants drowning after their boat sank near Greece last week. The only reason I found out about that is because I saw a meme bashing the media for ignoring it.

    • News articles were published about the boat.

      How ever much we may dislike it. Media is a capitalist business. As such its obvious that 100s of people are dead. Is going to end its coverage quicker then are 5 people dead yet. Its hard to publish extra stuff when the answers are known. Speculation will always be more profitable.
