1. They're only doing that because they're afraid of the Anti-Trust Wing of the Democratic Party.

If Republicans were still in power, I doubt there would be less of a push to report these stories when they could be reporting on the next Runaway Bride story or the next Missing Boy/Family/Abductee story. Those stories tend to get higher ratings, which translates into increased ad revenue, which translates into more profits for the big shareholders and the Board of Directors.

2. Look at the commercials on the cable news channels
about a third of them are from either the oil industry or coal and gas industries. Those industries control what goes out as news. You rarely hear global warming mentioned period on any of those channels.
