>it also seems to me that this sort of thinking is almost always used as an excuse not to care about anything

Caring is overrated. Unless one does something about what they care for, it's not just useless but also harmful (e.g. stressful to the person caring with no effect towards solving the problem).

That’s fine, but be honest about it. Don’t use the fact that people care more about personal stories as an excuse.

How about we care AND do small things to help?

That doesn't fall into the "useless care" case. But that's also not 99% of caring for stuff in the news.

Caring is not overrated if it's shared between a group of people and that group of people realizes it's a group of people.
