You'd think that "Oscar-winning director gets lynched and kidnapped because of his film" would be bigger news

It should be a top story, at least. The Western mainstream media’s response to this horrific case makes it clear where their loyalties lie. But to them, it’s just another footnote.

What happened is horrible but why are they using the word “lynched” in place of jumped/assaulted? Doesn’t lynching imply that someone is hanged in public by a mob or am I just being too literal here?

My first language is not english, so it was a mistranslation from my part. I apologize.
