Six deaths across multiple states, a faked death to try and stay hidden, why isn't this all over the news? 

Quote
LaSota is the apparent leader of a fringe group of radical Bay Area pseudo-intellectuals known as the Zizians. Around a dozen individuals appear to have in-person links to LaSota, some of whom worked at NASA and Google before the arrests began. Many of them advocate for veganism and identify as transgender.

Plus some UK sources and local stations here and there around the US. Is this sufficiently, "all over the news"?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Zizians seem to be like The Manson Family merged with software wonks inclined to veganism and gender-pretzelization.

No, but I'll acquiesce that I'm old enough to equate "all over the news" with "all over public awareness", which definitely doesn't work any more.  CNN and Newspeak do not have the story on the front page, AP does have it in a sidebar on the front page, but looking for info on Twitter and Reddit, all mentions are limited to small communities and commentators (except Andy Ngo, which was where I found out about it). 

 Events like this used to be big news, like the Manson's, mostly as distractions, but with certain groups involved it gets buried.

Without actually visiting CNN's or AP's or Newspeak's or, etc., etc., etc. websites, I am sure there are dozens or scores of bigger stories happening that are far more important and of far greater impact than this murderous cult of loons.

Oh, I don't know about that.  The killing of the border patrol officer up in ... Vermont?  Was a pretty big deal and I think it was these brands of weirdos who were either prime suspects or there was no doubt they did it, if memory serves.  I would think this would be on the MSM's radar on the TV.

Maybe I'll see it tonight when I'm watching the news.

I visited CNN, briefly, out of curiosity. The major stories (top of the main page) were several about the Ukraine War talks (can we agree that a war in which hundreds of thousands have died Is bigger than this cult of crazies?), the airliner crash in Toronto, and the hostage releases by Hamas. The murderous gender-bending vegan Manson Family wannabes are easily a lesser story.
