Perspective

Don't get me wrong the bombing in Manchester was horrible. But I am glad that it is not getting the over-the-top wall-to-wall coverage that every other first-world terrorist attack has gotten in the past 16 years. Not too long ago a bombing like that would have drowned out every other news story for at least a couple of days.

Other stuff is going on in the world. I'm glad there's still a lot of coverage of those other things and news sources are moving away from a terrorism-trumps-everything approach. That is, after all, exactly what the terrorists are going for.
