News Worthy?

I'm assuming that most people reading my blog are of some educated nature, and that being educated they have an interest in World news.

I read on the Front page of the weekend paper in an article about the size of a match box, that Slobodan Milosevic, ex-president of Yugoslovia was found dead in his cell. When a man of this nature has been accused of leading the regime which almost destroyed Serbia, before being ousted (October 2000), how come it gets reduced to almost 'non-news worthy'?

The former strongman died in a prison cell while being judged by the UN war crimes court in The Hague for his role in the Balkans conflicts, which killed more than 200 000 people

On top of this, the now dead and forever infamous ex-president has been denied a state funeral, justice for the role he played?
