re: Why so many mentions of Heather Heyer but nothing about Kate Steinle when it happened?

What about all the murders in Chicago that nobody seems to speak out on.

For the record, Fox News is a huge chunk of TV news and talks about Chicago violence incessantly. I think the better question for you to pose is why more media outlets don't talk about it.

Anyway, the violence in Chicago itself has no political angle (I'm sure we could find one but it'd be a reach). It's just violence. But, I've long reacted to hate crimes and the like by asking why a black kid shooting a guy in the face for 20 bucks (much more common) is somehow less problematic than someone shooting someone for their race (far less common).

But despite that, I still understand why the latter would be more interesting from a news perspective.
