Yes, but I think there is more to it than that. The media love to place someone on a pedestal (slowly, over several weeks) then bring them crashing down to earth (again, over several weeks, as if in slow-motion). Often the "victims" are politicians or celebrities, which is bad enough. But seeing a family treated in this way is disgusting.
