      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 …

      True, but I'm sure that the people of London and relatives/friends elsewhere still want to know what's going on. Tough balance.

          Maybe, but people will ask questions if CNN chooses to show Richard Quest in a swimming pool during a terrorist attack.

          An alternative would be not re-running panic clips and relegating older news to the ticker/crawl.

          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

          Many reports on the ice cream bombing. But of course Western civ will prioritize attacks on the order at home. You're naive.

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

          It's a sad reflection of human curiosity about these types of terrible events. We can't stop watching, so the media covers constantly.

          Wonder what they would do with coverage if they had to feature a counter on the screen that said how many times that same loop played.

          There's also a growing body of evidence that this kind of news coverage is actually trauma-inducing.
