A teacher once said in college... The headline "terrible storm possible later this week". Will sell 100 times more newspapers than "another sunny day". Also when I lived in Los Angeles the local news was opposite what was aired in Dallas. The news is a money machine. If there is no money, there is no news coverage. 100s of people protesting in the street for some unarmed thug that got shot, gets way more views than a lone cop being shot. Except for people wanting to cry reverse racism. The act itself was racially motivated. The lack of news coverage is not.
