Furthermore, some people really do need to see graphic images to understand the scope of a disaster. Personally, I do not and have little stomach for it.

This board is joke every tragedy must be turned into a race or race baiting issue and purveyors of this stuff will always disregard other evidence to make their point.

Re: Why the voyeurism in Haiti ?

An interesting question that came up in a discussion with one of my Haitian friends was this: why the media frenzy WRT Haiti when tens of millions have died in the Democratic Republic of Congo in the past few years with relatively little coverage?

I don't I am up till 8 and if I am eating cornflakes it could be a 12 noon...but that's just me. I suppose the media could post images of the simmering Caribbean with sail boats and the lush vegetation in the hills of Haiti as the backdrop.

These fool-fool questions/comments/arguments will always bubble up the Conflict in the DRC has been covered for decades but like any long running saga sometimes it fall out of the news replaced by more urgent concerns.

Not only that the Media has only so much resources to allocate and in a violent asymmetric conflict with shifting fronts stretched over hundreds of miles it becomes a very expensive affair for a declining audience.

The problems in Jamaica are not sufficiently covered even on a board called jamaicans.com but mek a hurricane lik the Rock and see if all media hell don't break loose.
