No, because the people in the media concerned with or interested in this sort of thing have no balls and don't want to damage their potential future access.
I don't think I agree with this at all ... I don't think
anyone in the actual "media" takes McDune seriously ....
there was interest after the first few books, it was almost a Story, Famed Writer's Son Takes Up Mantle, but it
was too quickly realized that all Brian could carry was a wine glass back to to the couch ... they started treating
it like the serial StarWars books, and that was the right call ....
the "reviews" are actually just "publication notice" promos, blurbs from TOR, and I assume there is some type
of ad revenue/kickback contract type of thing .... the actual "publishing world" doesn't consider McDune to be
real "books", the big "scifi" websites give the new books lip service for a few minutes around the publication dates ...
the only type of reviews or interviews Chigger is talking about here are done by sweaty kids with home-made "fan-sites";
they believe being on good terms with hacks like tehKJA bolster their "credibility" ...
the only "story" now would be an "scandal expose", and it's too small of an audience and too trivial of an issue
to make it worthwhile to the actual "media" to pursue ... unless something ups the ante, like Brian shooting himself
in the face with Dr. Thompson's shotgun, or a crazed "Talifan" blowing up Keith's Camry ...
