There is press coverage of the massacre. I am not saying the story is being ignored. It just seems to me to not be getting the coverage it ought.
Cnn.com The main story on the front page.
BBC.com same
New York Times on the front page below the fold.
Reddit news.Not on the front page at the moment.
NY Post. Not mentioned on the front page,
NY Daily News Same
Daily Mail Same
Globe & Mail Same
Los Angeles Times Same
Jewish Telegraph Agency Same
Just by the way.
I’m well aware of the story and I live in the middle of nowhere.
It is the top story under “World news” on my Google news feed.
I suppose time zones and the developing nature of the story has something to do with it. Still, this seems to be a big story.
BBC now reporting the perp has been shot dead
I saw it reported on the local Chicago TV news. How is it being reported in Saudia Arabia?
It’s been the main story on the AP’s front page all day.
Washington Post has a line of links at the top of the webpage. It has a link to the full story but no actual headline on the main page. It could be an algorithmic decision since I’m logged in.
Oddly, I have not even looked. The Saudi papers are my afternoon fare. Let me look…
Not on the front page. They do have Saudi Arabia on a fast track to gender equality, study suggests and US court dismisses Turkey’s attempt to shut down Erdogan bodyguard attack cases. Since they got rid of “Hi & Louis” the Arab News has gone downhill.
Off topic, but any reason why your links don’t work in the US?
I just contacted my friend in Bangkok, she’s quite shocked this could happen in Thailand.
I cannot imagine why the links do not work. They are from the front page of the current issue of the Arab News.
My local news is leading with it as I write this.
On mine also.
made the 2 minute hourly radio news bulletin here in New Zealand
In Israel, the major news sites in Hebrew have the story on the first page.
imho … he shouldn’t have gotten any coverage at all … fleas like him need to be burned at the stake … for taking other innocent lives in his “agenda” … definitely does not constitute any ‘immortalization’.
It was listed on Fark early yesterday AM. Which in turn linked to a BBC story.
I strongly disagree with the OP’s claim.
My first thought was: Is this in the ethnically Malay part of Thailand? Because amok is a culture-bound phenomenon for Malays. Nope, it was a long way from there.
From what I’ve read, the shooter was upset about a housing deal gone wrong. WTF? Something bad happens, so the obvious response is to kill and cripple dozens and dozens of strangers?
Terrorism for a cause, however worthless, seems more explainable at least.
Is America exporting it’s nihilistic mass shooting culture overseas? I’m hearing increasingly more about them happening in foreign lands.
Responding to the OP, the shooting has been on my ordinary Google newsfeed since it happened. It was the very first hit when it happened, and now has dropped down a bit, but I’d say it’s got regular coverage. (Posting from Canada.)
