The “national” news in Scotland today has a pay dispute in a single pub.

I guess my point is the media obsession with certain events that, with a wider objective perspective, do not deserve that degree of airtime, coverage, etc. These events normally correlate with those involved having wealth, fame, etc. The point here is that this event has so much coverage when others that were more significant in human terms had relatively none.
