Media priority dictates that they show us things we can relate to, that we want to see, the Paralympics isn't something that the greater part of society gives a toss about. You're a Saint Permster but frankly I'm not too fussed about the best basketball team in wheelchairs. While this denies some people a lot of kudos for being amazing individuals considering their circumstances, a lot of things don't get on the news that could do. You'll also notice we often don't put on any third world disasters, not because its anymore or less tragic in reality to anything that happens to the first world, but because we don't relate ourselves to these people. It's all about us buying their stories, not about achievement or tragedy.
