a) White dude in America shot by police = no coverage in Australia
b) white dude in Alabama gets into a fight and shoots another white dude in Alabama = no coverage in Australia
c) black dude in Baltimore gets into a fight and shoots another black dude in Baltimore = no coverage in Australia
d) black dude shoots white dude in America = no coverage in Australia
e) white dude shoots black dude in America = important story in Australia
f) black dude in America shot by police = leading story in Australia
a + b + c + d + e + f = stories are not reported based on their importance, but on how they fit a particular narrative. In this case a divisive, race-obsessed narrative.
