They get discussed a fair bit, as other commenters have pointed out. But these stories tend to blend into each other after a while. It's hard to pick out which ones are new/interesting and eventually readers respond with fatigue to the entire category.

This phenomenon is generic and happens with all repeated/related stories. People only interpret it differently in this case because they're conditioned to treat this topic as a special case. They therefore assume there must be some special thing going on. Both sides of the conflict do this, btw.
