another crash...general question for you all

News media features stories they think people will want to read so they can charge their advertisers that much more. RIP to the folks in the Socata.
 
Nowadays they probably count the number of clicks on an article. How many times have you clicked on an aviation accident article recently?

Edit: I must have posted right after the person above me....
 
'...the bubble-headed bleach blond, comes on at five.... She can tell you bout the plane crash with a gleam in her eye - it's interesting when people die, give us dirty laundry...'
 
Sensationalism sells in the news industry. Never any consideration for the family.
 
Same reason people slow down to look at a car accident, people want to see death.
 
Because aviation is so safe these kind of things don't happen that often. Less often = more news worthy. Also, plane crashes equal either many lives lost or many dollars lost or both.
 
They have nothing better to do. That's why I stopped watching the news....
