1. Pretty much, yeah.

Pretty much, yes. The media sensationalism of this coverage absolutely sickens me. Not trying to take away from the fact that it's a horrific event, but why do they not give this much coverage to the crisis in the Sudan or the humanitarian crisis that US is causing in Iraq?

I swear, it's like if it didn't happen to Americans then the media just doesn't care.

2. Yep, the corporate media

has been holding vigil because some white people, specifically white American people, are lost. Had it been only brown people, the story would have been relegated to the back burner along with Sudan, etc.
