UnitedHealth CEO shot

What everybody seems to be missing is that it's a national story when a rich, white guy gets murdered in New York City.

People get murdered there every day. Just not rich ones.

Why do we care more when a rich one dies?
Because it makes good news. Rich, white executive, in charge of a controversial healthcare group that just so happens to reject 35% of its claims. gunned down in broad daylight. The "why" is what makes good news. The motive. This isn't your everyday driveby. It was calculated, and had reason. Whether psychotic or not.
