I know the tin foil brigade like to use the phrase "main stream media" so forgive me..

But it's be easy to lose sight of the fact that there's always tragedy happening in the world, it's always bad, it's always alongside other tragedy and the only way things get better is the ongoing fight against them.

The shock portrayed by the main stream media would suggest this stuff is unusual, like life is generally fine but punctuated by these horrible times and events, and that only one of them at a time matters.
