As Twitchy readers know, there was horrific news out of St. Louis on Sunday. At least two teens beat Zemir Begic to death with hammers. Where is the national media? While there have been some cursory reports, take a look at this:

Unbelievable. Here is the top return on Google when searching “Begic murder.”
Twitchy is on it. “Real journalists”? Mostly crickets. Twitter users have noticed this oh-so-curious lack of coverage and are calling out media lapdogs.
Curious to watch CNN and msnbc's 24-7 coverage of Zemir Begic's senseless murder. #TheyWontCoverIt #JusticeForZemir #Ferguson

Why are the major news networks not covering the brutal murder of Zemir Begic? @CNN @andersoncooper #JusticeForZemir

Watching @TODAYshow and so far no mention of #ZemirBegic being murdered in Ferguson. Although we heard #DarrenWilson gets no severance pay.

Hello @NBCNews i am sure you will send reporters to cover the murder of Zemir Begic in St Louis, right? Or, is that murder not newsworthy?

Will Chris Hayes provide breathless and inflammatory on-scene reports? Will befuddled HuffPo journos show up to confuse some more ear plugs with rubber bullets? Not likely.
No out of town journalists are going to come cover the guy who didn't rob a store, didn't punch a cop & reach for his gun. #JusticeForZemir

Inflammatory! Could mace boy Chris Hayes have made a more irresponsible Ferguson tweet than THIS?
Unreal! Half a day later, Chris Hayes admits ‘dead body’ in Ferguson wasn’t really a dead body
