It is rather alarming that the media's ability to completely drop a story after most of the 'visually disturbing' stuff has died down completely desensitizes the population.
"OH, BBC have stopped reporting on Lebanon, I guess eveything is hunky-dory now"
If only the media attention span was not so fleeting, but then they are driven by this 'report everything in an inadequate length of time' mindset, which seems to have been imported from the U.S. networks.
In short, the news doctrine seems to be more or less saying "screw analysis - give us the juicy stuff"
