What does that have to do with anything? That story wasn't even known at the time of the Tweet. I'm comparing the prominence that the Tweet was given with that of any other murder in the period it was on the front page.
Unless your ranking goes police officer murder > Taylor Swift Tweet > regular murder?
Even now, the front page is tracking Twitter rather than reality. There are multiple articles about women being unsafe on the streets of the UK, and how no-one cares about their plight. Women aren't even close to the most at-risk demographic for violent attacks. But that hashtag isn't trending, so who cares, I suppose.
That's what news = engagement gets you. You can't use the BBC or most modern news to get any sense of the relative magnitudes of society's issues. Rather, you get a feedback loop of the same topics that social media algos push.
