The media has been criticized for sensationalizing acts of terror, providing a platform for terrorists to spread their message, and inadvertently glorifying their actions. This can potentially inspire others to commit similar acts in pursuit of attention and notoriety. Additionally, the constant coverage can create a sense of fear and anxiety among the public, which can further fuel the cycle of violence and terrorism.
