News: Japan's disaster

Few days ago, there's been a terrible earthquake and then a tsunami in Japan. Both phenomenon has devastated an important part of the principal island. Since then there've been constantly programs and news about those people and the recuperation of the country. The primacy of these news has also reduced the time to explain the other news profundly.
We believe (or maybe "someone" wants to make believe us) that those tragedies that we see in TV are the most important in the world, just because they are in TV in a serious program like a news program. But of course that we know that there are other tragedies and more interesting news that those that we have in our country, even so we don't worry about them. We could probably remember that earthquake in that subdevelop country, or maybe that poor family that were going to die because the corruption of the country, but there are other things that we could see but we don't take it in care anything.
When I hear in some news program a tip like "there's been 100 deaths" I don't just get surprised, I also feel frustration, because I believe that they shouldn't give this tip with this ease. I think that all of these persons should have a whole TV program to explain their live, one by one, one for day. We do this when a famous person dies (like a king or a singer), but why not with a "current" person? Why that 16's years old japan boy just has to be one more of the number of deaths?
