Why care about a 'Soviet' Spy?

I can't understand the exact reason the media is focusing so much on the spy that was nuked by a 'tiny nuclear bomb' and blamed Vladimir Putin for his death beforehand.What is going on in the world that we are to be blinded to by television and internet coverage of this story?
What will the American Babylon do next?
