Saudi Arabia, Iran restore relations in a deal brokered by China on March 10th. Now 3 days have passed but I only saw msnbc and bbc briefly reported it on their TV programs once. All the other news programs seem to be silent about it.

But shouldn't this be reported/discussed heavily as it is such a big deal? Just because China plays a significant role so they do not want to report it? That does not make sense but I guess that is probably the reason (**sour grapes**).

If I remember correctly the murder of a Saudi dissident journalist or the story of Iranian morality police was reported extensively on TV, so to me it is not that they don't like to report the story from Saudi or Iran. 


--- update ---

From the answers and comments I got I think I need to emphasize 2 things. First, my question is specially about **TV coverage**, not about digital coverage. Before I asked the question I already read some articles mentioned in one of the answers. Second, I am reluctant to (and I don't) use the term 'western media'  because I don't think such things exist or it is too broad term to conveying any meaningful discussion. Can you image to put Fox news and CNN or The New York Times together to talk about Middle East Peace or ...?

PS, this is [CNN world news on youtube today][1] so you can see it covers a lot, 2 reports about China, not no Iran and Saudi deal.
