It just got 5 full minutes on CNN. That's more coverage than anything else got during my lunch break.

I remember some shootings being aired for most of the day, and the Charlie Hebdo stuff was constantly on the news.

If you really don't understand why it's much longer in the news if some murders are fleeing, taking hostages or whatever we see pretty often after a shootings (especially in school shootings) or a shooting where there is nobody fleeing, police has everything under control and nothing can happen anymore then I don't know. 

The cases you mean were probably all some cases where there was a killer still alive hiding anywhere in a building, killing some police officers after a chase or something like that which does get more time in the news when this happens and also after they got the murder dead or alive. 

And to compare that with Charlie Hebdo, common... we are talking here about a magazine which had some very controversial stuff for which they got praise and criticism around the world for years, a magazine which had already an attack to handle years before, a magazine where someone was already under police protection because the risk was so high that someone will kill him and obviously all the crazy stuff which happened after the religion motivated shooting when the murders could flee for a while, took hostages, shot police officers dead and so on... this was a country wide happening for days with thousands of police officers, special forces, helicopters in operation and you compare that with this?
