When it comes to American media, yes, it's become much more biased. Still, I'd argue that the media's lack of thorough coverage can be ascribed more to 'we can't find a good angle on this' than 'this doesn't fit our dualistic news coverage'. I think I've been greatly spoiled here. Television news here is dominated by one public broadcasting news show and one commercial news show. The former is legally bound to provide impartial and complete news, and the latter's worst sin is pretending feelgood-stories like this one is actual news. The only newspaper I read regularly is critically acclaimed as one of the best of Europe. And De Correspondent. Which, by the way, will start releasing articles in English soon. Two and a Half Men of Steel perhaps?There's a sitcom in there somewhere.
