The media is done with it. All new information is essentially coming out of one guy's twitter account -- the one JackTheBandit mentioned. Such a strange situation.
That's one of the fucked up things about the media - any sort of protest or social issue gets about a week or two of attention then it's on to the next thing (unless the paper itself has adopted it as a cause célèbre - some UK papers are still writing stories about Madeleine McCann, the Daily Express has been on a 'crusade' against inheritance tax since before I can remember, etc). People assume that if it's not being reported on, then it probably all finished and everything went back to normal. That's often not the case.
