Killing of an MP V a Tooting kid

Firstly, I am not condoning, or have any racial, religious views

But why do we have hours and hours of TV coverage, for a young lady who was an MP, who was unfortunately killed by a lunatic
that has left two young children, and Husband to grief, and all of this is rather unpleasant,

yet a 20yr old coloured kid was killed in Tooting in April, managed nearly 4 minutes of TV coverage

Life is very precious, and neither deserves any more coverage than each other

That's the media for you. They just go with what they think will be the biggest story on the day. But I do agree with you all life is precious.

One was more well known to the public than the other. It doesn't make her any more important in my eyes, just a better story in the media is all. Quite sad really.
