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.
Do you read the news or do you get your news from social media? No judgment, I only ask because I’ve seen articles about the boat sinking since it happened, I’m surprised to hear someone missed it for a second. This Titan story definitely got more attention by far which feels criminal. A handful of thrill seeking billionaires vs hundreds of poor and desperate people…
Don’t ignore the mystery part. With the migrant boat the outcome was immediately known. The sub outcome was unknown and people love to wonder.
That's fair, plus the eccentric nature of "a few mega rich people tried to use a giant coffin to see a famous shipwreck and disappeared" is probably easier on the eyes than "hundreds of desperate people with no other choice drown in their attempts for a better life elsewhere"
The public would rather watch a few rich parasitic egos get crushed, than watch hundreds fail at the same struggle as the rest of us just barely treading water.
People have no perspective of what it means to have a population of over seven billion. The 2023 daily average statistical deaths are 332,648 per day. The news as reported by corporate media is just entertainment. It is such a small and irrelevant slice of what is really happening world wide that it is virtually irrelevant.
They didn't ignore it, I saw stories about it in a couple of places. However you get your news, your algorithm figured you wouldn't care.
Yeah, you saw stories about it in a couple places. The sub was on the front page of everything for a week. Thanks for supporting my point, I guess.
