I specifically said it was fucked up, I also don't believe the drama should overshadow the number of human beings affected BUT It's just realistic in our society at this point. More drama = more views, more views=more coverage. With the increase in coverage you're going to get a lot more effort put into the rescue because everyone wants to be the hero. My comment was disagreeing that the article's point seemingly placing the imbalance of effort due to the lost being wealthy.
