Make it political all you want, most people do not understand the Middle East and all the ***that goes on there. Some ambassador dying when death is a daily occurrence in the Middle East is like hearing 3-4 more soldiers got killed in Afghanistan. People are numb to it. My cynic says no one cares, we aren't seeing results other than money being sunk into some 9th century hellhole.
People do understand a pretty clear cut of a politician/politicians goons holding up traffic to send another pol a message. It directly affected the commutes of thousands of drivers in a world-famous choke-point for vehicular traffic.
It's the same reason people can get behind (hehe) a sex scandal. People understand the temptations of cheating, steamy affairs liven otherwise boring lives and we like to nose into who's banging who. Instant attention when it hits close to home. Or hits you in the pants.
This also makes headlines Christie was a well known potential candidate for POTUS. If he were the governor of Podunk and not New Jersey, no one would care. But since it's Chris-I don't take ***-Christie we're all gonna hear about it.

Despite the relatively low level of need, the HMFA approved $6 million to help the developer build 137 affordable senior housing units. And the beat goes on....
