By what standard, your personal impression? How many other news about Sweden do you routinely follow?

[PaulFormerlyinSaudi]

I routinely follow mass killings. Make sure to read my posts on Reddit.

Then maybe those contributing to these threads have an anti-swedish bias?

It certainly made the evening TV news here in Germany. Very little that happens in Sweden usually does, except Nobel prize ceremonies.

It was pointed out by news outlets here how this made headlines abroad. But it is quite possible it is less noticed in US news outlets. I mean, a school shooting in the US certainly make headlines here, but disappears rather quickly from the headlines.

it would be significant news in sweden and across the local region

 

realistically you are competing for limited time either in a typical 30 minute broadcast program- which is actually less than that with ads and commercials and off topic chit chat in broadcast media

 

or in print media you are competing for the real estate which fits on your screen against the hundreds of daily horrors and tragedies in the united states alone

 

or any number of third world massacres or whatever

 

in china literally there are things that go on which is far more dismissive- an earthquake kills or displaces nearly 100,000 people in a single event in some province

but might barely register in the press

ABBA is way overplayed.  It was bound to happen.

I used to like them quite a bit many many many years ago, but I agree, they got tiresome.  And my many years ago, I mean 8 track tape days.... I am THAT old.
