I'm not sure we actually have a news "blackout" -- because as Shanazel said, we ARE aware of it.
You could argue it's being under-reported, but rememebr: the SOLE purpose of a newspaper/radio station/TV station is to SELL ADVERTISING. Not to actually report news. And what sells advertising is HSBC money laundering, the Connecticut shooter, Michigan's new abortion and Union laws, same-sex marriage laws, medicinal maryjane, etc ....
The nice thing about the internet is that we DON'T have to rely on Fox or CNN to sell us on what's going on in the world.
