When they have to start asking real questions and then get "SSI" for every answer the report isn't nearly as pretty nor easy to put together. So they don't bother.

Besides, there's probably a story about some other useless local something that they would rather deal with.
The media doesn't do real reporting any more. Around here, they've been running "happy talk" news stories about Clear..... Brill has probably gotten several $million in free positive publicity.
