I think it depends on what part of the public.  I care.  You apparently do.
 Many (D) voters may or may not care -- those that believe Joe Biden when
he claims that no military members have died on his watch probably don't
care.

The general public, who may be so tired of "news" might care if they were
even aware of it happening.

That last sentence is probably correct, especially the very last bit.  I
100% am certain he won't blame himself, even though he should.
