Tragedy vs. Statistic

22 Jun 2023 – The way the media talks about the Titian vs. how they talk about the hundreds of migrants who drowned are night and day. It reminds me a lot of how the media talked about Ukrainian refugees vs. middle eastern refugees.
The last time I remember reports talking about a refugee’s death being tragic was when that poor Syrian boy’s body washed ashore in 2015.
PS. This goes without saying – the loss of life at the Titanic was tragic and I’m not trying to downplay the severity of loss.
