#1 Ummm, it wouldn't by any chance be envy?

Since FOX NEWS had wiped the floor with the MSM libs, perhaps it is more a case of contempt, not envy.

#2 Sympathy for terrorists and hatred of Fox News? That would seem to explain the situation quite nicely...

#3 Because the Paleos control Gaza and the news media can't blame the Jews (or the Americans like they do in Iraq).

#4 Simple... because they have a lot more " how cute" photographs of of Jon Benet than they have of Steve Centani.
Also, international news talent has all kinds of kidnap insurance coverage, and the actual people who insure against these event call the shots. The best plan is to avoid the spotlight, in hopes that a breakthrough happens in the shadows.

#5 Fox management instructed its people to report as little as possible on this event, presumably in the (probably correct) hope that they would be better able to 'reach a satisfactory conclusion' in the absence of public scrutiny.
Perhaps the other news organizations are simply following Fox's lead.

#6 Because the Paleos control Gaza...

...and the Paleos have made it clear that anyone reporting on their crimes will suffer the same fate. Same "people" who threatened reporters should anyone ever air the video of the Paleoswine's celebrating on 9/11.
