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.
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 has been on the front page of everything for a week. Thanks for supporting my point, I guess.
