Why are they not worthy of the breaking news banner?

Now I wanna tell you a story. I'm gonna ask ya'all to close your eyes while I tell you this story. I want you to listen to me. I want you to listen to yourselves.

So said the character Jake Tyler Brigance in the movie A Time to Kill (1996).
I want to invite you to try out a similar exercise. I want to tell you about the horrific case of the mass abduction of over 200 school girls. Some of you on here may have heard about this before. Kossack terrypinder told their story here
To recap:

Last Monday marked two weeks since the Nigerian militant group Boko Haram has been holding up to 191 teenage girls hostage with total impunity in the Sambisa Forest. The girls, aged mostly between 16 and 18 years old, haven’t been heard from since April 14, the night before their final exam at the Government Girls Secondary School in the northeastern Nigerian town of Chibok when they woke to the sound of gunmen bashing in windows and setting fire to their classrooms. Within hours, 234 of them were herded into trucks headed for the jungle. As many as 43 managed to escape. Some swung down from trucks in the slow-moving convoy; others ran off when they reached the forest.

Hundreds of girls ranging in ages 16 to 18 were kidnapped, faced rape and death and nary a peep from the US media? But, you say, this didn't happen here, why are you so hard on our news organizations? True, but did you see the amount of man hours and resources devoted to the missing plane by our media? The amount of breaking news banners unfurled by cable news? What about the sinking of the South Korean ferry? The missing English girl, Madeline McCann, in Portugal? The case of Maria, a beautiful white child who was found with a Roma family in Greece? See? I knew her name and I knew it because the media covered the story from every angle.

Now a series of questions for you: Do you know the name of any of the over 200 girls kidnapped by Boko Haram? Have you seen any pictures of them? Have you met any of their parents? Teachers? Have you seen any breaking news banner on CNN about them?

Now close your eyes and let's go back to John Grisham:

(Paraphrasing) Can you see them? I want you to picture those girls. Now imagine that they are white. The defense rests your honor.

Now, are they worthy of the breaking news banner?
