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

The problem is that our media equates these incidents to ratings. If they stop "reporting," people turn to another channel that is covering.
