Yeah, it's horrible and tragic, but we do not need these major news outlets giving 5 minute updates during the whole debacle. Most information reported within the first day is completely false anyway, they just make pomegranate up or twist things so that they have SOMETHING to put out there.
But bro, what about those ratings?
In all seriousness, the media knows people want to know what took place and considering nobody has a clear idea of what occurred or why, they are trying to keep viewership high by covering it. The news media is for profit and thus doesn't really have a choice in the matter.
Lol @ all the people on social media pouring their hearts out and sending condolences to those affected. This seems to happen whenever there is some sort of tradegy nowadays, people come crawling out of the woodwork to pretend that they really care, to gather attention while also criticizing those who are not openly simpathetic. In a few days it will all be back to business as usual.
Edit: I'm sorry if my post comes off as uncaring, but I am simply commenting on the whole hypocrisy of this social media phenomenon.
