If you're talking about compassion fatigue then I guess I can see where you're coming from. I think we get used to hearing about a lot of people dying in dirt poor parts of the world like a forensic examiner gets used to the sight dead murder victims everyday.

Sorry if that sounds a bit dark, but I hope you get my meaning.

Yeah I get what you're saying, but this is the 7th or 8th day where its dominated the news and takes up at least 15 minutes of a 25 minute bulletin. I mean fair enough for the first 2-3 days but after that it gets very repetitive and loses impact

A lot of people will probably be "burying bad news" at this time. I bet the next issue of Private Eye will be a corker.
