What news story do you know about that is under-reported or not discussed that you think should be?
Like the discovery that there is more oil in Gulf of Mexico than in Middle East, or the oil discoveries in Montana, Utah, Lake Michigan ect., or that the US got the Nazi formula for gasoline from coal and lost in in the National Archives, or that there were several comics and magazine that featured depictions of death and destruction in NYC before 9-11-01, but that were published before it happened (e.g. the cover of JSA for Sept. was distributed in August and had a giant sceleton lying between WTC towers.). Anything weird or under-reported like that.
The news media has their own agenda and any story that does not move the agenda along or goes contrary to that agenda will be buried and not reported.
One of the biggest stories that the news media buried was when the US government reported it found large stockpiles of chemical weapons in Iraq. There where other were other reports that other weapons of mass destruction were transported out of the country into Syria by Russia. You never heard of that one did you?
The whole oil for food scandal was not reported. When Saddam Hussein diverted oil for food dollars to France, Germany, and Russia to pay for weapons both conventional and WMDs.

What Urban Legends Are And the Motive For Which They Are incredibly prevalent
There are few anecdotes which are more intriguing and genuinely captivating as a well told urban legend. These are accepted as a modern anomaly that folklorists and sociologists have trouble finding in what are traditionally known as primitive cultures. It goes unexplained why in modern society there tends to be a tendency to take stories with a sensational feel to them and re-tell them, often telling that they have begun from various unidentified sources. Considering that the original source of these stories are rarely noted, those passing the information along can't be held in charge of the validity of the tales. This appears to facilitate the reach from person to person and raise the speed that they zip across the globe.
While the idiom urban legend was coined by a University of Utah English studies instructor named Jan Brunvand in 1968, it wouldn't happen till 1981 that the general public would uncover these legends as a real cultural occurrence. Professor Brunvand's work, The Vanishing Hitchhiker: American Urban Legends & Their Meanings, was a group of modern legends which were well-received in the U.S. at that time period. By learning about these stories, Brunvand believed that historians and others that explored ancient societies could discover a considerable amount about present customs in the world today's cultures.
Surely if you don't believe urban legends they can be in some ways entertaining and periodically involve a little bit of truth. Whether the way these tales are presented is comical or chilling, the conclusion is the same: the tale is remembered by people who overheard it and given that it's emotional imprint, it will be likely that the listener will eventually repeat these legends. Just as in the Stille Post Game that children play, as the legend is relayed from one person to the next,, it causes it to morph. This is the reason you will often see different versions of a recent urban legend in several regions of the globe.
Sometimes, a story is narrated to notify people about behavior that could get them into trouble, such as, messing around when visiting a foreign nation and therefore ending up in a bath tub filled with ice, missing your kidney. At different times, the stories are clearly very creative and hook our attention, such as the story which went on the Internet for more than a decade about a serial killer that used recordings of a crying baby to get females from their homes and kill them.
Now that the Internet is here to assist us, we can spread urban legends at a lightning quick pace. You can rest assured that the appearance of recent electronics will just create new and stranger legends as time goes on.
