And news/social media were counting down to 0 oxygen and playing it out for drama, clicks, and profit. Absolutely disgusting, and much worse than any memes or jokes anyone online could’ve made about the situation.
What should the media have done? Ignore it? Just assume they were dead, even though the USCG and Navy didn’t make that assumption?
What should the media have done? Ignore it?
Yeah, why not? They were perfectly fine with ignoring hundreds of migrants drowning after their boat sank near Greece last week. The only reason I found out about that is because I saw a meme bashing the media for ignoring it.
Do you read the news or do you get your news from social media? No judgment, I only ask because I’ve seen articles about the boat sinking since it happened, I’m surprised to hear someone missed it for a second. This Titan story definitely got more attention by far which feels criminal. A handful of thrill seeking billionaires vs hundreds of poor and desperate people…
Don’t ignore the mystery part. With the migrant boat the outcome was immediately known. The sub outcome was unknown and people love to wonder.
That’s fair, plus the eccentric nature of “a few mega rich people tried to use a giant coffin to see a famous shipwreck and disappeared” is probably easier on the eyes than “hundreds of desperate people with no other choice drown in their attempts for a better life elsewhere”
