The mass media particularly in the USA, by and large, are liberals who hate themselves and do not even value their own freedom and survival, and think everyone else out there is like them and wants to go out like sick, suicidal lemmings. Therefore, even in view of these great geopolitical threats, they will focus--yeah, obsess, on the unimportant. If dumbed down Joe Sixpack drinks it up, asks for more and does not demand higher levels of journalism, it will be a shame.
As for me, the death of a cutsie 6 year old little beauty queen girl in Colorado 10 years ago, as sad as that is, has absolutely NO BEARING ON MY LIFE--and millions of others, including you and yours--compared to a full scale nuclear war prompted by North Korean agression in Northeast Asia at this time.
