It should be directed at every charity and NGO CEO & commentator & celebrity & member of the public who lapped this up when horror should have been the reaction; particularly on the part of genuine victims...

In the world we are in - where it is far more important that one "signals" one is worthy" over the truth and objectivity is collusion - some twerp or other was always going to come along and say something like this...

The important question is: why do we have a culture that accepts this notion without thinking?

Neither can I actually. The problem is more than stupidity though, it is a lack of understanding about what drives people, and not being able to put yourselves in their shoes.
Sadly, we are living in pandemic of narcissism and headlines, so I cant see it changing.

Indeed. It is odd how someone who is clever on paper can be so astonishingly thick.
