I would guess it is probably because the New Zealand story involves many more deaths, but, hey, whatever bigoted nonsense floats your boat.
Yes. Larger mass murders are larger news.

No, it should be receiving far less; The Netherlands has a much larger population than NZ.

More deaths means a lot more news coverage, the relationship is far above linear.
That indicates how much local attention it would get, not how much world attention. However, Derec's 6% is too high, the relationship isn't linear.

That was from my experience at least until Trump was in office absolutely true. Now I would bet that on average it would be lower for average media, as a way to correct for Trump's excesses of race baiting. However for "woke" left media it seems to be the opposite.
But segmented media markets cater to the audience they have built up, so this is not really a surprise or conspiracy.
Yes, this is the same kind of bullshit as blaming all Muslims in general for Islamic terrorist attacks
The Christchurch Shootings Should Implicate All White Australians
This isn't a problem amongst white people as a whole, but amongst a radical minority who don't represent the rest of them despite their claims that they're fighting for all of them.
Caucasianness is an ethnicity of peace.

Caucasian doesn't mean peace. If you look at the root word, the first part of it means submission.

Interesting. I thought it meant that we were a bunch of cocks. My way explains our history much better.

I like the term Caucasity/Caucacity which is a mix of caucasian and audacity. A lot of blacks ranting about whites and clips of whites behaving badly can be seen with this keyword on youtube and twitter.

Will this be followed with Trump showing footage of the next Muslim on Americans attack?
seems like a one way ratchet

It is quite interesting. I'm not aware of many terror related attacks that didn't get a lot of press... yet, there are some people that seem to think these events went unnoticed. And typically, killing people in a place of worship gets the most press of all. Whether some crazy alt-right asshole in Pittsburgh, some alt-right asshole in Georgia, some alt-right guy in New Zealand, or some fucked in the head asshole in Texas.

It's a hack gambit to give a false sense of priority. Effectively a backdoor "whataboutism."

As long as people keep having children, Catholic priests will keep raping them. So, by your logic, the solution is to prevent people from having children.

According to an NZ imam, the attack is fault of, you guessed it, the Jews.
