The media publishes whatever will get views and clicks and engagement. Sometimes a topic gets started and it gets people going and they'll go with it. Press isn't fair or super accurate. There's wars where we learn about every daily happening and minutiae and there's wars where we barely know are happening.
There's laws that actively kill people all the time in the millions and yet we discuss whatever current minor change to some inconsequential law triggers sensitivities and drives clicks. The press is all a business like any other business, they haven't gotten any more morals than Facebook or Monsanto, but we learn about journalistic integrity and codes from journalists and eat it up.
