Almost without a doubt Indifference is worse than Hatred, Hatred can be fought against a total lack of any thought, compassion... it's like fighting with a bunch of soft pillows; Nothing much is accomplished, other than spewing feathers about the place ,Indifference is far worse than "hate".

They simply do not care.…

In the film Hotel Rwanda, the media had a significant impact on the events that happened there. Radio was used by the reporters, and that had an impact on the events there as well. Also, reporters there faced the ethical dilemma of reporting all of the facts to the public while putting themselves in danger, or not telling the public the entire truth to keep themselves safe.
