I've heard a lot of debates about "why is it when 7 people die in this tragedy, there is huge media coverage, but while thousands of children in Africa die every day, nobody pays attention to that?" I myself began to wonder and I believe it's already been said. When the lives of countless, nameless people from a country most people don't care about or has absolutely no effect on them die, it's really no wonder why not many people care and why it doesn't get excessive media coverage. It's so routine it's like having an entire week devoted to why the tomato sauce stain on Tom Brokaw's sock won't come clean.
