@mattklewis @laura_lrnzo I remember in the 90's ppl were being killed in Africa by Al-Qaeda and nobody cared in America. WH didnt even care -

@mattklewis yep, it isn't the fault of media several preventable disasters occurred because gov couldn't 'connect dots'. -
@TomTomJAnderson There's a general point that we're aware of a lot more bad things bcos of soc media. Trayvon certainly wdnt hav hit w/o it.
