I am not trying to sound ignorant, however, it seems a building fire in a large city isn't something that is usually news worthy on a global scale. I mean, here in Phoenix there was a fire at a junk yard that was fairly large. And the only people covering it were local news outlets. Does anyone know why this got so much play?
Because it's a high-rise residency with a large life-loading? Because the images produced are gripping?
You know, I think you just accidentally exposed a serious problem with the media these days. They will use another person's tragedy to get ratings.
