Chris Hayes on "two things we tend to forget" in the wake of an atrocity

On Friday, Chris Hayes of MSNBC's "All In" reminded us of this:
In the wake of  TV news coverage of an atrocity, there are two things we tend to lose sight of:

First that "we are dealing with fellow human beings, with inner lives and loves and hopes and dreams. . . and that there is a space for grace and dignity."

The second thing to remember, in watching all this TV coverage, is that "we don't report on the planes that land."  That means that "what happened in Paris and San Bernadino is blessedly rare."
