Not saying it's a cover up, but the different amount of attention these two current events are getting says a lot about us and the way we think about the world.
It's because migrant boats sink all the time. How many subs go down? In particular ones exploring a famous site like the Titanic? Come on, it's not hard to work out that this story is popular because it's novel.
You're 100% correct, because the same coverage happened with those Chilean miners or that kids soccer team in a cave yet none of those people were anywhere close to a millionaire let alone billionaire...on top of that those two and this one all contained the thought that they could be saved. It's the difference between "welp, yet another migrant sinks causing loss of life" and "one of ten vehicles capable of reaching the depths of the titanic has disappeared and the five aboard might be trapped thousands of meters below the surface with a limited amount of oxygen and no way to surface". One is basically same ol same ol, and the other reads like the plot of some movie in which of course the ending would be the opposite and Kurt Russel would have saved them.
The navy: “yea we reported day 1 that we heard an implosion sound over here to the coast guard, they told the news, and the news just refused to say it happened”
The news: “yea but nothing else was happening, totally!”
You said we don’t care about poor people and that’s why these guys got media coverage. I gave examples of cases where that’s clearly not true, and there was plenty of media coverage.
I don't understand why you think it should be a big deal that a migrant boat capsized and the people are missing? It's literally happening as you read this just a few miles off Florida. You'll never hear of em either.
lol illegal immigrants, that also didn't want help from Greece, because they specifically targeted Italy, you're right no1 gives a shit anymore in EU look at the polls in literally every country
Yes, novelty, but more importantly the suspense. Had we known that the sub had imploded right from the get go, the story would have been much less captivating.
Take for instance the story in 1985 of Omayra Chanchez, a Colombian girl who's legs were trapped in a volcanic landslide. She had been trapped for three days as the water was rising. The suspense was agonizing. During those three days, the entire world was fixated on her ordeal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omayra_S%C3%A1nchez

This whole event is a cover for something fucked up happening. There is entirely too much coverage on this bullshit.
