I think that could be understandable, to be honest. Even just this (apart from where I live) is all stuff I came across scrolling news articles or random tweets. It's not something I go out of my way to look for every day. Why? Because it makes me feel really bad and there's nothing I can really do about it. If I could chuck a lemonade over there or ask people to kindly stop drone striking each other, I would. All it accomplishes is causing me more hopelessness than what I already have.
Which is likely why a lot of other people don't devote a lot of research to it either. It takes a very specific person to voluntarily devote yourself to feeling really really bad, and that kind of interest in events only spreads to the masses when it's unavoidably happening to them. It's not anywhere close to idyllic, but most of human nature isn't and (especially in the face of the internet) we end up whittling things down to our own personal well-being in order to make it manageable.
