You wrote: "We also never hear about these." The point of my (somewhat smartass) post was that you obviously did hear about them.

But, to address the issue seriously, I think you know as well as I why such stories appear only on the local news: They simply do not merit coverage on network news.

Time constraints limit how many events can be covered on a news show, and those which are reported on are selected for nationwide interest and importance.

Interest. There's no logical reason for the NBC Nightly News to report on a robber shot in Tulsa, when it will likely be of zero interest to residents of other cities and states.

Importance. 50,000 people shot in 50,000 separate incidents is just business as usual, but a wacko shoots 500 innocent people from a hotel room and it's headline news.
