      Are you suggesting this isnt news because the country is small and not very important on a geopolitical level?

        It always frustrates me when my relatives watch TV news that favors substantial coverage of inconsequential local stories in the U.S. over more significant events internationally.

          Jamaica isn’t the part of the US. What’re you talking about?

            The comment I replied to was criticizing the parent comment for stating that this event isn’t consequential to an international audience.

            My reflection was that I wish national news programs included more international content rather than focusing on trivial stories with no broad impact they probably pick up from social media.
