    Again, this whole discussion in itself has changed to be about media bias instead of about the people who actually drowned. I don’t disagree that the focus is mainly on the sub, but I also haven’t seen anywhere near as many posts about the capsizing on lemmy. I think I may have seen more posts about the media bias than the capsizing, to be honest. We should all should fix that specifically, instead of just talking in circles around it.

    The news stations should focus on some of the individual people that this planet lost on those ships too, not just the large number of deaths. Personalization helps many people connect to news stories which is something that the capsizing posts are sadly unable to achieve. It’s terrible, yes.

    The main irony to me is that the overall focus is still not on this capsized ship, but is instead now on media bias.
