The press doesn't make money via reactions.
The press makes money via ad dollars, which come from readership/viewership. If you think that readership/viewership increases via two page stories about CP or features on CP, your sorely mistaken.
The subject makes any sane reader/viewer uncomfortable and uncomfortable people reading your paper ARE not likely to subscribe and uncomfortable viewers are not likely to watch again.
Outside of Denver (where people were covering a trial) or LA -- ever hear a peep about the 2257 changes?
I've written 5 different letters to the Public Editor of the Chicago Tribune and gotten the same response every time.
