Perhaps, but that is the reflection of corporate media culture. Reporters who do not write stories that do not keep the "party line" do not get very far in the media world. Unlike those who do follow the party line. See, for example The Nation's article on th ebias reporting in New York Times by Gina Kolata.
The problem of the lack of interest you mention lack not in individual reporters' attitudes, but in the failure to invite the "right" mdedia to your event. Or perhaps it is the problem of the virtual absence of independent media in the US.
