And my comment was badly phrased. The media won't notice this until of of its prominent members is attacked. If some thug went after Matt Lauer we would hear about it for decades.
I really don't think even the big stations would call it for what it is. In fct, they would fall all over themselves finding out why this "child" was so disadvantaged, set up a scholarship fund and insist that Google wipe any character issues off the "child's" FB page, YouTube and Instagram. They'd probably write to the judge and call the NSA on the "child's" behalf; and also have his parent(s) on the show.
