It's not that rediff should not cover it. The point made is 17 articles for a domestic incident in USA where 1 Indian (Minal) and an Indian born American (Prof. Loganathan) died, shows an US bias.
For example, when 3 Indian pilgrims were killed in the Iraq conflict on Sep 3, 2006: Rediff had a single news article (that too from PTI). Why did the VTech shooting receive more coverage than this?
And let's face it. Rediff and any other media company goes after the eyeballs. So rediff would cover the celebrity wedding, because thousands more more people are interested in that than any killings. The question is about the US bias. Whether Rediff thinks an Indian life lost in USA is deemed more worthy than an Indian life lost elsewhere?
My condolences to the families of Minal, Prof. Loganathan, Jaffer Mashadi, M Beigh and Mohammad Ahmad Ali. And my apologies for having used their deaths to make a point.
