I've been surfing through all the news channels, about what's going on ... and all three of the major cable channels, CNN, FOX and MSNBC, I believe I'm starting to see a similar trend (other than the mass destruction,) and it reminds me of an old Kirk Douglas film titled - Ace In The Hole -
http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0043338/, where the role Douglas plays is a journalist, and talks and deals with the victim in a trapped cave accident.
Right now, Anderson Cooper is on the screen and he is doing exactly the same thing.
And no, I am absolutely not taking this lightly, but just have a side step here on how the news is currently being portrayed ... and how the circus has formed ... if you catch my drift. Just my dime's worth.
