yes but you're not suggesting there should be stories about each one?

I agree with Brom here. Millions of people die every day in different events, the news reports those that are the most shocking and rare and the ones that most people will feel some type of connection with. There are bombs every day in Iraq and the news reports them. They won't report it for days on end because there is one every day.
