As far as I know is they are in other places and were in Haiti before this, its the media that puts it on the back burner because it doesn't sell papers like Tiger cheating on his wife, Wars, Hurricanes and Earthquakes. It's unfortunate that it takes hundreds of thousands of people to die to focus on the real issue of how bad things were beforehand. Hopefully this disaster doesn't mean that people will focus on it for the next few weeks and forget when it falls off the front pages or top story of the day.
