What they're supposed to? This is after all, news. You don't drop a story because you think someone is a cunt.

You want to see something scary, start to look at how media coverage affects mass shootings. There is very strong evidence to support the idea that our current media coverage of making these people "famous" increases the deadliness of these events as compared to something like the North Hollywood Shootout.
Allowing agencies to not report details that can be independently verified makes for worse news and better propeganda.
I think the point is that you just don't publish the names of the groups responsible for the attacks. The truly interested (security professionals, law enforcement) can go dig for the group names, other people don't really need to know, and likely don't care anyway.
