I have not had TV since 1997 and don’t do radio news any more. I pull all my news. I saw a headline about a cave a while back but wasn’t interested so I didn’t read it. I saw this healine and it got me to read enough to figure out that some people were stranded in a cave in Thailand.

Since we’re in the US, I figured it must be news because they were American tourists. Otherwise, why else would this particular tragedy be news here compared to all the other tragedies going on in the world as I type this? But then another freeper pointed out the human interest angle. It’s an ongoing nailbiter, apparently.

For the same reason we will spend months on the shooting of Trayvon Martin and ignore the shooting of hundreds of African Americans in Chicago.
It’s all about selling soap.
