So tragic for all the passengers of that plane and now the 24 hour news network will go into full "let's speculate to fill air-time mode" drowning the actual facts in a sea of "what ifs".

Some black boxes have been recovered already, in due time we'll know... smth, if not all. For now we don't even know if it's been actually shot down.

 

As for the media... well, it didn't give a two craps about thousands died in that conflict. Just few days ago 2-3 thousand military men from Ukrainian army south group has been caught in a pocket suffering 100-200 casualties dead, god knows how many wounded and desperetely trying to escape it, a dozen or two even managed it to Russian terriotry, 6 still on life support, probably more to come. Did anyone report that? But 295 killed in an air crash is obviously a big deal, pardon for being heartless.

No, the media didn't report that but it has been covering the conflict extensively for months. Also people are dying in Gaza right now , so that story was getting the most coverage lately. And before that, it was the ISIS takeover of Iraq. These are pretty big stories where many have died as well.
