Germanwings tragedy

[AlSun]

As much as I was interested in what caused the crash at the beginning I have the opinion now that it would have been much better to investigate first for a couple of days or even weeks before releasing inside information to the public when the first shock would have settled a bit.

The media frency and the public thirst for any, even the tiniest bit of new information made me feel sick at times especially after the information about the deliberate crash and the name got public news.
It felt like only minutes after that information leaked dozends of reporters went to the Lubitz's house and imprisoned his parents in their own home where they just started grieving for their dead son like all the others while having to cope with the information that their own flesh and blood seeminlgy not only killed himself but also took so many innocent people with him.

As if the (deliberate) crash and the death of the people on board wasn't tragic enough the handling of the whole investigation and the partly disgusting way the media took part in all of it turned it into a even bigger drama which isn't over yet and of course never will be over for anybody who was friends or family of the people who died that day in the crash.


BTW: Like gb2000ie just said it's NOT the place for a racial argument here!

Same over here. After reading the initial news about the crash, I stopped clicking, simply because I did not see the point in rewarding any "news" site for more pointles blabbering when it was clear that relevant information will need at least several hours to appear.
We are witnessing a mindless battle for attention these days which has replaced the marketing of real news. The worst thing is that half-truths or widdow-shaking gets sold as well. In this case they offered money to school children, the friends and classmates of the killed pupils, for interviews.
Every click means one agrees to that practices and to the complete abandonment of journalistic ethics. If it is relevant, it will be relevant in 24 hours. If it disappears in that time, it was not worth being watched or read anyway. Even the most serious news sources played along in that shitty game.
There is no way to control the press, but there is a away to keep them from shitting in one's brain - just don't click.
