I agree that we cover terrorism too much in the news. However, if you look at the date ranges for what is arguably the most important graph in the post: https://ourworldindata.org/uploads/2018/10/Causes-of-death-vs-media-coverage.png https://ourworldindata.org/uploads/2018/10/Causes-of-death-v... They run from 1999-2016 for both the news organizations, and from 2004-2016 for the Google searches. 9/11 happened in 2001, so of course there were going to be lots of articles about that, and less searches if you exclude that time period. The deaths were selected from 2016 alone, which is maybe reasonable, but then why select articles from a range of years elsewhere? Certainly there were more deaths in 2001 from terrorism than any other year in this range, so excluding it from some things while including it in others seems like an act of Hanlon if nothing else.
