We're in week 3 of Snowden and the NSA. Even USA Today has it as the top front page story. After a certain point, it's ok to not expound the details every single time and focus the story on just what's new.

As predicted, the topic is now the Snowden manhunt, rather than the spying. Snowden needs to release more details to keep the fires burning.

Was the same with Dorner and the LAPD.

(not to compare Dorner and Snowden, only about focusing on the man hunt and person instead of the broader issue)

"That which I tell you three times is true." Repetition causes ideas to stick around; this article re-iterates several well-known facts (using more than a few weasel words), and yet the nature of the leak, and Snowden's motives, are beneath mentioning.
