@humanrightswatch I was listening to public radio earlier today and heard both stories. I was wondering why they gave the titanic story so much more coverage too. It's kinda ridiculous.

@humanrightswatch 5 billionaires are officially more important than 500 refugees, nothing wrong with capitalism

@humanrightswatch Zero billionaires on that ship, so the attention-machine doesn't care.

@humanrightswatch this was so true. We never got the news of the search for loved ones at sea that needed to be recovered. If they had gotten help. It would have been avoided.
