MODERATORS
I don't disagree with your opinion that war is newsworthy in general. Off the top of my head I can think of several reasons why you don't see the stories you expect to see though. Chief among them the fact that search on the fediverse is absolutely unreliable. It ain't Google when it was still good. Also, other news outlets may have different standards in terms of what they can report. They may need more sources, more eye witnesses. A search for "Iran" may be the wrong search term because there is a certain US politician who loves a headline and the media kind of like him for that. So there is a spam of stories about his unsuccessful deal making that will algorithmically obscure any other Iran content online. Or it might relegate military strikes by other but much smaller nations to a subordinate clause in paragraph #13 of a story with an orange headline. It also stands to reason that local news sources would be better, especially if this is a developing story, and that it's possible that it simply hasn't filtered through to English language media.
And more generally, war or senseless loss of life in general and the reporting thereof are not mildly infuriating content.
