I'm really not clear what difference you think PN condemning Daesh atrocities in an opinion piece would make: will it stop them? Aren't the pictures chilling enough?
And why are you more interested in the coverage of Daesh atrocities than others?
today spiegel online & bento have an article about the anti-gay video.. spiegel is one of the biggest and most serious news media in germany.. they also report and show that youtubers cut the video and changed it in a funny way.
sofia tells her mother that the teacher said it's fine if they live each other.
then sofia's mother says: "thats wonderful.".
Of course it promotes the idea that homosexuality is not bible-approved and that is the real issue - but it's not news, not shocking...Shunning isn't news or shocking either and every time the WT re-endorses it people are offended but are not told to calm down. And based on the media coverage the video is getting, it seems like it is actually news to non-JWs.

if we're honest, there's a "hierarchy of death" - well, there seems to be a hierarchy among the liberal Media: Western gay people are worth more than gay people from other areas.
Originally, I cheekily asked if this was to do with racism but I don't think that is the case. But it's still to do with progressive politics and progressives' skewed view of the world.
Weird, huh?
It's not weird, the West is racist.

I don't agree. The images that Pink News share of gay men being thrown from buildings need absolutely no companion opinion piece for Western consumption
You also seem to be wilfully ignoring the audience of Pink News. It's discrimination on their doorstep they are concerned with (just as all news is skewed to the local or identifiable) hence Trump/gay marriage etc. And some gay people in the West live lives experiencing very little homophobia so there is shock when it occurs. It's not a shock to learn that Daesh throw people of buildings given their consistently barbarous activity.
In my line of work I've spoken with the Institute of Strategic Dialogue about the reporting of atrocities and they believe that Daesh thrive on the type of reporting you want to see.
And hideously, if we're honest, there's a "hierarchy of death": we obsess over the Middle East but show less interest in what's happening in the DRC.

I realise I just trivialised my own experience. Being asked if I was a poof by some Witnesses made me feel completely ill. And the long periods of depression I experienced in my twenties were related directly to the JW teachings on sexuality. Yes, other faiths have similar briefs but I wasn't a Mormon etc etc
But hey, at least I wasn't being thrown of a building or beheaded.

sometimes leading to acts of violence and expressions of hostility.
Really, you don't think the teaching of the WT sometimes leads to expressions of hostility? I found being referred to as a poof by some JWs a bit hostile.
I'd agree that there are degrees of homophobia from ISIS to the Salvation Army. Maybe you find the homophobia of the JWs to be a more tasteful grey than ISIS black but I can't help but reflect that the gentle homophobia played a part in the suicide of the two gay (celibate) JWs I knew.
