We don't do this for drunk drivers killing people. Terrorism is horrible—but rewarding them with the type of publicity they seek is no path.https://twitter.com/jcstearns/status/871132672235638785 …

They should update when we know something. Not run the same clips of panic again and again. There's little new news.https://twitter.com/stranib/status/871137522788818944 …

ISIS *just* bombed an ice cream shop in Baghdad, murdered dozens. Also her: Zeynab. We ignore those victims—and put panic on loop for ours.pic.twitter.com/66ZWbekFYU

For the number of people to claim I'm trying to cover up (!) for ISIS — I've been sounding the alarm about them while the West ignored them.

The panic loop is not adding to news coverage. Hounding victims for statements (as has happened!) is horrible. We need sane coverage.

As I said, I've been sounding alarms about ISIS when the West was ignoring them. My recs are exactly because I *am* terribly concerned.

This type loop coverage isn't about the public's right to know or assess threats—both of which are reasonable goals.https://twitter.com/fmkaplan/status/871183908586520580 …
