This is NOT a big deal. It is a big deal for the victim's family and associates, and maybe a big deal in the Journalism community, but in the big picture, not so much.
And yet it is getting as much coverage by the American Leftist media as though it were comparable to the JFK assassination.
The reason is simply that the American Leftist Media is always looking for ways to ridicule Trump or to back him into an untenable corner. Here, the ongoing relationship with Saudi Arabia is too important to allow this Not-A-Big-Deal event to queer the relationship. The Media knows that Trump will not jettison Saudi Arabia over this, so they can bad mouth him for being a hypocrite, etc.
Blah, Blah, Blah.
Same as every other story these days. How can it be presented in the worst possible way for Trump?
