I see both sides.

Running daily death counts can actually desensitize the public making them
tune it out all together. It can become a "who cares anymore".

The war in Afghanistan is going into 10 years.

The other side is how do you know these people died if it wasn't in the news?
Did you fly to Afghanistan and watch them die or did the news media report it?

There are reports on revolution in the middle east, election problems in Ivory coast,
gang rapes of 11 year olds...a whole lot of shit.

Conclusion : People focus on what irritates them and can block out all the other news
and things seem unbalanced to them, when in fact, it's just normal.
