Hello Teleology,

My post was replying to the observation that the headline specifies she is Australian.

It was not commenting on overall coverage.

But actually, on that point, no, this event is not on CNN's website as a top twenty story, and as you scroll down on the page, what you find is an article headlined "When white lives are at stake, society takes notice".

Notice the absence of the word "Australian" in that headline, to get back to the original post writer's point.

At MSNBC, the event is not even on the main page.
