But any group affected by a news issue may feel aggrieved that they are not the lead item. eg Farmers may be angry that the supermarket issue is not the top story tonight - they are losing their livelihood.
Unfortunately, our troops dying in Afghanistan is not the most newsworthy matter at the moment - the public might be getting uncomfortable or tired of hearing of deaths on operations.
More people in the UK are affected by Jose leaving than troops dying - there are more Chelsea fans than servicemen and their families.
Sorry, but I don't think that the public is that bothered all the time - it doesn't affect their lives until it is someone they know who has died
