To think this should be having more news coverage

Three young Americans murdered in North Carolina. See here for more info.

Some interesting comments made about the choice of media words.

I'm glad there is no media blackout in the US, but I wonder if it is getting the same treatment as the Copenhagen situation is currently getting. Seem to be roughly the same number of victims

There definitely was a media blackout for quite a long time (half a day or so) until social media picked up on it and there was pressure to report on it. It may not have been a terrorist attack but it is hard to believe the fact they were Muslim had nothing to do it. I also saw a disgraceful report on a news channel where the news was used as intro to a piece on 'how to get a parking space'.

I think any suggestion of an orchestrated international media blackout is inaccurate. This tragic story has received a great deal of attention, as it should.
