Yes, and? I'm of the opinion empathy and consideration is finite, so when you spread it to larger and larger collections of people it becomes too diffuse, and the ones most closest to us (friends, loved ones, people in the community, etc.) do not receive it sufficiently. Likewise, none of us are in any position to do anything at all about this issue, but armchair theorize and feel moved by it for a few minutes -- as well as have our perception of the world tilted negatively (for what purpose?). I should really go for a walk, instead of absorbing this junk food.
