Interesting Graphic, from Alston Mabry

 Causes of death versus media coverage of the same.

Presumably they're trying to show that media over-emphasizes terrorism and murder, and that we worry about the wrong things.

You have to die from something, and the two most common things are cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Actually, that would have been an excellent title for it:
