We'll it looks like CNN covered it in may in a dedicated article [1], as well as mentioning it in a number of other articles about related things, such as fentanyl drug busts. So they may not be covering it weekly or daily, but it's not like it's going 5 years between mentions.

- Volundr 4y agoSure. But is it a story that needs covered every single week?
