Apologies for reading your comment in an antagonistic way, but, I couldn't find a better way to read it. If you're saying that it was just about adding context, okay, but I think there's a way to do that with out painting this a "smaller story" that will be forgotten about "tomorrow or next week".

A guy is dying from cancer and unable to get treated because a $400m company stole his unique $200k life-long Lego collection ... That is a smaller story than America's murderous healthcare system - but until the guy's situation is corrected, no amount of media coverage is too little.

America's media failures also are a critical piece of the picture, but as written your comment reads as if painting this as a forgettable little story about Star Wars lego:

>This headline about star wars lego? Less so.

... I'm glad to hear that wasn't how you meant it.

You're getting pretty put out arguing that the news cycle should focus on this guy in particular and his illness in an article that doesn't mention it.

I've already outlined how I was criticizing the news cycle.
