It is precisely in proportion to the interest of the average cretin. As Coito has mentioned in a post above, the broadcasters would soon drop coverage of terrorist outrage if they thought they could get higher ratings with something else. The higher the ratings the greater the profit from advertising they sell, and that is what they aim to maximise: profit. If people were more fascinated by watching an in-depth analysis of the federal budget, we'd get wall to wall coverage of that with barely a mention of what news Brussel sprouts.

No, I agree. But my claim is that journalists and producers actually enjoy (in some respects) these events. It's what they live for. And they shit me as people because of it.

Actually a good question, and it's not because of the reasons you listed. It's because of the large amount of people that have ever been at an airport will always associate it with a bombing. When you consider that airport in Belgium, think of how many unique people have ever been there, all thinking of the past bombing.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.
