Not always.
Remember the recent Times Square shooting?
There was not much media interest in publicizing the shooter because:
#1. He was not a Racist White Supremacist Republican Trump Supporter
#2. He was just a Person of Color who no doubt was suffering from the effects of Systemic Racism. He meant to shoot his brother, but missed him, hitting three innocent bystanders.
His brother actually turned him in, evidently not willing to turn the other cheek when gunfire is involved.

I submitted two Times Square shooting memes to the Politics stream a week ago.
The first one was featured:
"Would You Like Fries With That?"

The other meme, based on a UK news report and shown here, was not.
"To See Our Country As Others See It"

Instead, I got this notification:
"Your image was not featured because it does not meet the posting requirements of the stream it was submitted to. To avoid this, make sure the images you submit are on-topic"
