which has suppressed our ability to see... Explanation: ...and think critically when it comes to the suffering of others I think this is what the author is trying to say (i.e. we are desensitised by overstimulation). |

2 hrs confidence:
leads to a blank stare Explanation: Just another suggestion. In other words, for the full passage, "and which leads to a blank stare rather than critical thought when confronted by the suffering of others". I like this idea because it gives the image of someone staring blankly and dispassionately at the TV while being flooded with images. |
