These things have been reported hundreds / thousands of time if you read enough news to get informed of them. That's the only reason you know about them. There's no reason for a random local news station in rural Oklahoma to cover the South Sudan's civil war or Libyan slave markets.
That war and slavery are bad doesn't make the curtailing of civil rights for millions of people suddenly a nothingburger.

This line of reasoning quickly leads to the conclusion that only bad thing worth caring about is the absolute worst thing happening.
