The same reason a person killed in Sydney is front page news, but 200 people killed in the Middle East doesn't get a mention.
The media are will print what they think will get clicks. It doesn't mean these things don't exist, just that they aren't things that the media think will sell papers.
The middle east doesnt get as much of a mention in australian media because most australians do not relate to the middle east in terms of it's culture or society. People in Australia are more interested to know the day to day news in Australia, America England etc.
I agree the media do print what will get clicks and that is the start of the conversation about how dishonest and corrupt the media are.
It's not interesting to report that blacks are not killed in disproportionate numbers once you take into account the high crime rates committed by black people. But it's the truth.
It's far more interesting to simply get emotional and report that a black man was killed by a white cop, because RACISM and because black people are "oppressed".
Keeping in mind that America is apparently so racist that almost the entire roster of players across NBA and NFL teams are blacks earning multi million dollars per year to play a sport.
The proper truth is that anyone who doesn't take responsibility for themselves and their own family will be oppressed in America (regardless of skin colour). If you leach off the government you will get screwed more than you would like to. Unfortunately blacks have been used as political pawns by many politicians who constantly tell the black community that they are victims and reinforce the idea that they need even more money from the government to somehow help them get ahead.
What's lacking is a figurehead who tells the black community to look after their own - take care of their own families - be skeptical of white liberals who pretend to look out for your interests, and most of all, take responsibility to make something of yourself so you can own something and not be reliant on the government.
