That all said, I think it sucks that any side would do this. Additionally, if you are blaming the media for not covering this you are barking up the wrong tree. They will cover this when it becomes something they can prove

No, they are supposed to verify reports before spreading the word accross the world. That is their job, that is all they do. Get stories, investigate stories, if it's true report the story. Mainstream Media have forgotten step 2 for the last couple years.

I woldn't be surprised to find that there are journalists exploring this angle but it's getting shelved until more proof can be found (i.e. the editors and/or publishers are waiting for more information).

I am more prone to assume they don't want to spread knowledge of their own incompetence than trying to investigate. For if they actually did some of that the stories never would have been aired to begin with.
