Why no media feeding frenzy?
One word...DRAMA
We all know it can be a dangerous world. We dont need a sh.. storm of
of information about this.
I wonder if people consider the effects on people if they are already insecure or afraid or vulnerable.
I dont say the story should not be reported, but to exploit it like this I find obscene.

This isn't drama, this is a world event. This was a massacre. Should the world have not known about 9/11, or the July London bombings because it gives attention to people who don't deserve it? Ludacris. Unless of course you're exploring an absurd opinion in order to garner heated replies and cause discussion, much like the media you are so against. Then jokes on me.
Edit: After reading your edit; yes I agree exploitation is wrong, but I haven't seen much in the way of extreme exploitation in the news. Not much in the way of fear mongering either. I mean, how much can you do in a situation like this?
