It would be ridiculous to do a story on your leatherworker because no one knows of him. He is just that. A leather worker, sitting at his little bench, making shoes. The pope was a religious leader, and a cultural icon. He was leader to over 1 billion people. Of course his death is going to be huge! Everyone knew him. But not Mehmet. He is just a leatherworker.

And people can be sad for the pope, even if they werent catholic. If someone told me that a leatherworker that i have never heard of died, I would still feel bad for him. Its not because the news told me to feel sad. When someone dies, its a sad thing.
