Not only does it make things a big deal, it likes to keep them a big deal. Mandatory shoe carnivals anyone?
That wasn't in the US. If the story is broken by the media then there's not much they can do but damage control. But they sure aren't going to volunteer information unless its a big arrest where something is being done. But to say that things are still happening? And unresolved? Its not in their best interest.

Just my opinion from what I've seen and what hasn't made it to the press.
