Of course, you can't just scapegoat the media. Here's the problem. You're right that while this is a terrible tragedy that we would angry about not like to see angry about happen, it doesn't merit constant news time. Very angry about few things do. That having been said, the media is doing this because it gets attention, ratings, and sales. It's part of an inherent conflict of interest that the media faces between what it should be doing, namely reporting the facts and giving us an objective view on the world, or at least having each side admit their biases, and of course making profit. There's no easy way out of this, unfortunately. Still, I don't just blame the media. |

I don't much care about the story either, and not because I'm heartless. I just see no use getting upset about every tragedy that reviews occurs. This idea has been around for awhile and has been mentioned by Marcus Aurelius and in the reviews Christian "Serenity Prayer," reviews and it is that rather than worrying about things, you should determine whether or not you can do anything about it. If you can, then you can feel good for taking action, and if you can't, then feeling bad will not solve the problem. Marcus Aurelius and the Christians put the idea much more eloquently, but I want to move on to the topic at hand. Thanks for saying that you don't care, as I find the honesty refreshing. |
