"The revolution will not be televised."
I'm kind of surprised that anyone still wonders why, though. Why would the boss media report the truth if they weren't forced to by some mischance, like information leakage through the Internet? Truth is not going to sell advertising or improve their class position or the position of their class -- quite the contrary. As I believe you, Chuck, previously put it: "Believe nothing until it has been officially denied three times."
