>Suddenly its a big deal because Saudi Arabia was thrust into the news for the Khashoggi murder.

Which was only in the news because he was a journalist. Journalists care when other journalists get wronged. If it was you or I that got sawed up it might have been a footnote on some columnist's hobby blog.

Just look at the situation in Yemen. Nobody cared enough to talk about even though what it looks like is one of the worst humanitarian crisis of the 21st century. 1 journalist was tortured and murdered, and suddenly everyone was up in arms about it.

It's partly because he was a journalist, but also because state-sponsored murder in that state's own consulate is rare. More typically, there's at least a thin veneer of plausible deniability.
