“If we don’t report it, it didn’t happen.”

Maybe the local press is protecting the run of "Top Chef: Charleston"?

OTOH, I seem to recall a TC season with a Haitian chef running around looking for a machete. (To open a coconut, not necessarily to up the ante in a fight...)

But I'm sure the LSM was simply waiting to see if the victim was indeed dead, so they wouldn't have to update the story from "...attempted murder and malicious wounding" to "...murder and malicious wounding".

Newsrooms are under constant pressure to streamline, you understand.

So much happens you like the example I gave above. Never made the news either.
