Atro, this is a well thought-out little essay you have penned here. Well done! While you're hardly the first to comment upon the gross hypocrisy of the media, you do make your points well, and illustrate with good examples.
While I won't attempt to excuse the behavior of the media, I can offer you an observation (not original) that may help explain their behavior.
American news networks are not in the business of reporting the news. They are in the business of delivering a target audience to their advertisers.
