Papers may KNOW about this..(they probably "knew" before), but medicine for old people is not a "sexy" story. It IS a story for investigative reporting..a multi-part series in the paper, BUT that;s just the kind of journalism that's not done much anymore..
In another time, 60 Minutes would have been all over this.. Dateline would have done several episodes on it.. 48 hrs would have taken it on...PrimeTime Live would have worked up a story..Nightline too..
Of course those venues have moved on to infotainment and in-house product promotion so they no longer care much for news..
Sorry Granny..
