Some murders have more entertainment value than others. Consider all the TV shows, movies, books, and video games that are based on murder. The more interesting the murder is, the more popular the murder is. People don't care about boring murders.

Exactly. If there isn't video, and you don't have access to the identity of the killer, what's there to talk about, really?
In the MI case, we don't know who the kid was who did this, and there's little video. So, not as much public interest.
Suspect is white: report it 24/7, publish manifesto, revoke bail, charge suspect with hate crime, claim whites are the greatest threat to America and create detailed Wikipedia page
Suspect is black: ignore it, release suspect on bail
The Christmas parade killing was hours on Fox News. I barely have heard about the MI school shooting where kids were murdered. Yes I know it’s all a narrative in regards to which news media reports it and got how long but a school shooting involving a 15 year old kid you think there would be more coverage.
Not only is there plenty of coverage, but the media is taking the extra step of reporting about the shooter's journal and social media posts, which they've chosen to forgo in Darrell Brooks' case.
You may be confused or it could be where you get your News.
Biden immediately made a statement in front of cameras about the Michigan shooting, he ignored the Wisconsin shooting.
Best coverage on these events is always the UK News, particularly the Daily Mail.
It’s sad that if you want to hear the facts, you have to turn to foreign sources of news since all the main stream American media are not trust worthy since they put their own agenda first and ignore the facts. Many times in the past five years, they knowingly lied to the American people… AND!! Get mad when they’re called out on their BS.
Honesty, I’m to the point that I’d mostly trust Russian media over the American media since everything the say is nothing but disinformation and misinformation… The same as the Russian’s news, but they’re Russians, so I expected them to lie. Plus, the Russians don’t really need to lie since all they need to do is report the truth to make America look bad… We make it way too easy for them!!
Why do some shooting get nonstop coverage and some get none?

For the same reason you give examples of Fox's bias without giving examples of CNN, ABC, MSNBC, CBS, or NBC's biases. Everyone has their own agenda to push.
Race plays a part in determining coverage, since black on black violence is so common it really isn't news. (Dog bites man, no coverage.) White people don't care, and apparently neither do black people.
School shooting are a special event, and it is almost always a white kid shooting other white kids. They are not spur of the moment events, and require some level of planning. Hence, white kids. And of course, white people care about it.
