Does size matter?

No not that, get your mind out of the gutter. I'm talking about what stories cable news channels decide to focus on. 2 weeks ago when the 13 minors were trapped in the mine, that's practically all the cable news channels talked about for several days. Now there's 2 people trapped after a fire in another mine (strangely not far from the previous one), but the cable stations are barely talking about it. Just updates during their regular news stuff. It's the same way with that Journalist that's being held prisoner in Iraq. They're only doing small updates now and then. I guess for a cable news channel to really care about something, it has to involve a minimum number of victims. Not sure what the minimum is, maybe 10. Obviously they can't cover every little things that happens everywhere, but what criteria are they using to determine which ones to focus on??? So if you're planning to get trapped/Held hostage/ or seriously injured somewhere, and you want the cable news to care, take along a few friends. LOL, only kidding. Rant off.
