Should media coverage accurately reflect what we die from? I don't think so. Cause of death is not the only reason to be interested in terrorism, homicide, and suicide. These charts are eye-candy, and while I respect the work that went into producing them, I believe they are simply trying to spin a story instead of addressing the title's topic.

People need to be aware that media coverage is disproportionately focused on certain causes of death.
