Consider why commercial media don't cover progressive issues: It's not that management explicitly tells editors and producers and reporters, "These subjects are forbidden." Rather, people who cover political and economic subjects from viewpoints not favored by the owners, don't get hired or promoted. Out-of-the-closet Marxists don't get an editor's desk at TIME or the WSJ, don't make it to executive producer at MSNBC or KCBS. Those who go along, get along. Similarly, people reporting on UFOs will find themselves less than welcome on news teams. If they stay in the business, they may end up doing features for A&E or TLC. UFOs are suitable for tabloid trash shows, not for 'serious' news, and nobody needs explicit orders to that effect - it's just known.
