Why does US media seem to get a stiffy out of others' despair?

IMO it's simply because it gets clicks. People love to see the issues they care about being featured, and this is a issue that is important to a lot of people.

It's hardly just the US media.

It got shared, it got up votes, people are discussing it. The results speak for themselves.

It's because they do. The NYT loathes the average American. They get a hard-on when talking about 'deaths of dispair' in 'flyover countries'. Makes sense considering who owns it.

Oh, please. This is such a dismissive, bad faith statement it should be deleted. Nobody at the NYT "loathes" the "average" American. They do not get sexually aroused when reporting tragedy. Be a better person.
