"but that some media are using the images to sensationalize"

Thanks, that's basically it. As terrible as it is for those caught up, it really has no long-term significance to this country or to world as a whole. Whereas the fact that China will have a larger economy than ours in 8 years and be double our size 15 years after that has HUGE significance to anyone (like myself) who wants to see their children grow up in a free country. Or in Europe, that, short of a bloodbath, is almost assured to be nearly all Muslim by the year 2100 (and Muslim dominated much sooner than that).

There are some really, really, big stories out there are almost totally ignored by the media. Those stores will affect whether my kids and (hopefully) grand kids get to live a life in this country anywhere near my own.

Yet these, for the most part, go unreported - as non-events (and, in some cases, reporting on them can be construed as racism)

Well I don't think they should under-report it either especially in favor of reporting "other" news.

My problem is when it will become so Greta-Van-Susternized that we become numb to the reality of it.

It will have a major effect on the rest of the World, even if it is an area made up mostly of false religions. But it won't alter our society, if that's what you meant.
