The industry that is in Mobile, Louisiana, or Florida in September for the hurricanes and in the Midwest in the spring for the tornados. They're not even around long enough to give a fuck about anybody, if another hurricane hit a few weeks later in the Bahamas, they'd already be in the Bahamas with a new story, a new group of people they care so much about, and a new fundraising and rescue effort underway.
The grief/tragedy/sympathy/hope industry is not on your side, they are not your friend. They are just the people that control your supply chain (they have all the power) if you end up fucked. They are the same people that control the weapons, military, government, industry, and first responders.

News stories that get more and more desperate until people submit into doing anything the media/government/healthcare industry/scientists want them to do.
Last week's grief/tragedy/sympathy guilt trip was a recycled story from the Trump era about a young guy that still thought the coronavirus was a hoax until he ended up in ICU. When that didn't increase vaccination rates, the grief/tragedy/sympathy industry got more desperate and had a guy talking emotionally about how you can save his one year old in Arkansas even if you live halfway across the country by getting in line for a vaccine. Just do what these people say and everyone will be okay, just meet their demands is what the grief/tragedy/sympathy industry is trying to prime people's subconcious with.

What would happen if the lawyers were sorry for Derek Chauvin instead of George Floyd? Would they be told you can't do that?
I'm so sorry you have had the disease you have for so long officer Chauvin, we're gonna get you some help for your racism, you poor thing. We don't even know you, but we are, we are heartfelt and emotional for you. You have have our sympathy.

when you relay to your homie some bad news, and they pucker they ass sympathetically in shock.
can be a way of expressing empathy.
can be a way of expressing empathy.

Exactly, except YOU are a crippled talkshow host and I am not. Hey, I have an idea! Why not do an episode on why the AI works now when it didn't before? Oh! To keep the guy who did it from being more successful that you and it might implicate you in burying a story that would have prevented a school shooting? Wow! You're clearly the good one and he is the bad one.
Hym "Hey! I have no empathy or sympathy either! Good thing they need me for the AI and people like having alive kids! Hey, did your former employees press charges from sexual battery yet? Because they should do that."

The industry that wants control of all sides of the story, therefore the media claims to tell all sides of the story and be on everyone's side.
What the media and grief/tragedy/sympathy industry won't tell people is how on their own they really are, and how the industry doesn't give a fuck about them, it's a machine that depends on them to keep running.
