Are you surprised that killing 50 people gets more coverage than not killing 50 people?
 
A link to this story from an MSM outlet was posted six days ago on this forum.
 
So how do you explain none of this made the national news on TV with other story was repeated again and again

I know why the other story was repeated again and again. I don’t know that it’s true that your story didn’t make the national news on TV. In fact the article you quote says it did.

Why is the word Islam in your heading?

Would this be one of the reports that apparently don’t exist?

Also seen on the New York Times, bbc.com, CNN.com, Reuters, Fox News, dailymail.co.uk, MSN.com.
None of which, by the way, seem to mention his religion. So, again – why did you add “Islam” to the headline?
 
This article shows why LifeSiteNews has such a bad reputation, even among Catholics. Instead of focusing on things having to do with the Pro-Life cause, they run pieces like this that incite hatred of Muslims and invite speculation on how the establishment media is so biased in favor of Muslims over (“insert the reader’s identity group here”).

The fact is this story got all the coverage it deserved. If you really want to get excited about stories that don’t get reported, ask yourself where was the national coverage of the over 100 people killed in Cleveland last year? Or the 105 homicides in Atlanta last year? Some of them made the local news, but not national or world-wide. LifeSite is complaining that this attempted murder of children in Italy did not get enough coverage on the other side of the world. I say they should get in line behind all the other worthy stories that are not being told, and not go picking and choosing which stories they they want to highlight to push their divisive agenda.

It made plenty of news outlets. Is the “other story” you refer to the New Zealand terror attack? Because if so, it is patently obvious why it got more coverage. 50 people died and 50 more were injured. In this case, thankfully no-one was killed or severely injured.

This is my question also.

Well, I do not watch every available TV news outlet, nor any of them 24X7.

The news you watch may not have chosen to cover the story. That is up to the News Director. You can contact the station/broadcasting network and ask them.
 
Just a stray thought - there are sea snakes, was it that kind? I have an issue with snakes - have always made me recoil and am very glad to think that Saint Patrick rid Ireland of them! So none of “those” snakes returned. Also, in grade school we passed a beautiful statue of Our Blessed Mother and she was crushing a snake under her foot (she was so brave!) and I was so thankful. Have a good evening!

My guess is that is is mentioned since most of the migrants from Africa come from Muslim majority countries. The Italian bus hijacker (Ousseynou Sy) is from Senegal (94% Muslim).
 
Did people know that 2 of the chidren/early teens students on the bus who helped save the situation were the children of migrants?

Italy bus attack: Salvini approves hero's citizenship

Ramy Shehata, 13, alerted police after the driver allegedly threatened to kill 51 children.

So, they are to be commended.

I do agree, there are a lot of incidences in the world that should be given more press attention though.

Yes. And it may be he is also black, a spaghetti eater, prone to summer colds, and fond of music, but strangely none of those appears in the heading.

But seriously it is not unreasonable that a high percentage of drowned are Muslim.

Indeed. But what do you think were the thought processes that led to the word “Islam” being included in the heading? Given that there was nothing in the report about Islam?
