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

      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.

      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 …

          It's about selling advertising. The side effect is that it is the perfect ISIS recruiting tool. Increase division. Increase hostility.

          You are so very right about this. US or European attacks are looped. Others barely register in MSM.

          Loop coverage is a symptom of broken media format (TV). There's always someone who doesn't know the news & if you don't loop...

          Striking difference - BBC informative and useful to CNN hysterical loops. Americans want infotainment not solid boring information.
