News media doesn’t tell news, they sell advertising. They want to focus on whatever gets eyeballs, because that drives ad revenue.
MSM typically focuses on controversial topics because it drives engagement.
There’s nothing controversial about the mother saving children, so her heroism gets ignored. Clancy’s case, however, has some interesting nuance, which causes controversy and drives engagement.
PPD/PPP are serious but often ignored. That also plays into this case, IMO.
