But does the media have access to those types of locations? Seriously, I'm not being an ass. You have to understand the power of media. Being able to see crying parents and children is a lot different than reading about mass graves a month later. That's not racist or feigned: it's human.

The media can't very well go and cover the machete slaughters of innocents: they'd be putting themselves in mortal danger by even interviewing the families, let alone trying to get running updates from "authorities". There is much, much less access -- if any at all.
