Ok.  So why do you think those other shootings don't make the news?

It's the same reason the media gives wall-to-wall coverage to plane crashes while they ignore 50,000 deaths per year from car crashes.  It's abnormal enough that people are interested.  

If you want to know why anyone or any entity does anything, the first thing you should look at is the profit motive.  It may look like they have an agenda, but their real agenda is money.

Fox News, MSNBC, Breitbart, et al, or whichever one you like, may look like they are standing up for truth, justice, fairness and balance, the American way, salute the flag, etc, support the troops, racial equity, etc, but that's just what they're selling.  It's a business.  If you want to figure out the motivation for anything, the first thing you should look at is the profit motive.

Mass shootings sell.  Daily shootings don't interest people.  That's all there is to it.
