I’ve been thinking about this question for awhile. Why did this murder in particular strike a chord with Western, especially American media? Obviously I’m not saying they shouldn’t care, but they are hypocrites. We know there have been a ton of other atrocities committed by Saudi Arabia, not to mention so many other nations. The American media obviously doesn’t give a fuck about Gaza, and certainly doesn’t seem to care about the other horrors the Saudis are financing.
Why was this so reported on? Was it because he was a member of the media class?
well they tracked his location and had audio because he wore an apple watch so that got huge media attention.
as a member of the press being potentially murdered, It was big enough to get picked up by major news outlets I think.
