      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 …

      Orlando coverage was way more muted yesterday, too. Also one guy with a hammer in another country vs five dead here?https://twitter.com/lordsutch/status/872144776879120384 …

      Yes, crazy that a 24 hour news network would be covering something that happened today instead of something that happened yesterday. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/872142667458772993 …

          I presume that those CNN producers are considering what's big on Twitter, which, in turn, is automatically prioritizing engagement. /2

          This may be anecdotal but it seems like the Manchester bombing got far less panicky coverage than London attacks and I can't figure out why
