This may come as a shock to you, but sometimes serious events happen in other parts of the world. The fact that our media may use those events to distract you from others doesn't make them any less serious.
A question was asked, why the media rush to call it for Russia when the reflexively refrain and call for waiting when it's Islamic?
I said it was to make a distraction. What if the media were to call for not rushing to judgment? That would make the story about who the real killers were, about what are they covering up, about the Americans who were on board and what is Obama doing about it.
So you're saying that the media rushed to Putin because the media knows it's a serious event? No, I know you're not. It's not relevant to the question.
