There's another side to this that I contemplated today. If the goal of terrorism is to spread terror, have they accomplished their goal? So far as the families of the victims and people in surrounding areas go, likely. However, when you look at the planet as a whole you have this sort of response[1]: widespread and global compassion. This defiance must be incredibly demoralizing for murderous scum. Removing awareness of these events, which media provides, takes our defiance (compassion, solidarity, and fearlessness) away.
Limiting the media would only work if we limited all media in this way. The media needs to cover our peaceful defiance and we need to give the media more of that defiance to cover.
