What really makes me angry is that media is full of some millionaires drowning in a rattle can steered with a 30$ Logitech controller while there are 100s of people drowning in the Mediterranean Sea every week because they are illegally pushed back by authorities and media is silent about it…
Has to do more with end user. People want the mystery: are they alive, are they dead, did they implode, are they floating on the surface some where. If they are alive there’s a million questions about it. It’s just the way of the beast.
I also think it has to do with proximity - this happened close to “home”.
People are also stupid, some of the questions they were asking and stating that it’s a conspiracy because if the titanic is still whole how did a sub implode because they arent sure how a pressurized chamber works is astounding.
To follow that, they probably don’t know where Greece is.
There has been a lot of coverage, yes, but media didn’t make as much noise… the stories about migrants drowning was soon banned to page 7-13 on local newspapers… while this millionaire drama is all over the media for days now…
That kinda makes sense though, since there was no ongoing rescue/recovery operation to talk about. There’s only so many articles you can write about a bunch of people drowning.
Oh, you could write a lot. About the organization that pushed the people back into the water. About the politicians that sanctioned this. About the lives of those people who drowned. About the process of drowning. You can pretty much write a book about this. But no. It’s immigrants, that’s normal right?
Fair enough, but I would argue that a lot of these things are more general and not necessarily specific to this incident itself, so they are not really breaking news in that sense.

What do you mean, the media is silent about this? There’s tons of articles about that exact thing.
But for the last 4 days the very top of every newsanchors’ headline was something else. Probably that’s what he means.

Exactly.

Billionaires, huuuuuuuge difference in wealth even if it’s only a letter apart
A million seconds is 11 eleven days, a billion seconds is 31 years
Always remember that difference to have a filling of how filthy rich billionaires are
My favourite version of this is “the difference between a million and a billion is about a billion”
Blame lionardo dicaprio
I think very few care about the money they had
