It is big news if you look in the right places. It's not just Aleppo. The whole country has been a mountain of misery since the war began.
And you can blame the American media for lack of coverage, but the fault really lies on the people. The media just reports what gets them the most views and clicks. The average American doesn't have an attention span long enough to follow the conflict and is more interested in what some celebrity posted on Facebook or some stupid viral video like Chewbacca mom.
Also, Duterte's drug war in the Philippines should be bigger news. The man just admitted to killing people himself when he was a mayor.
