Perhaps reporters don't want to go on location to cover an ebola outbreak.

Second thing is, speculation and computer graphics probably cost less than actual investigative reporting.

Aside: a couple of months ago I was called to be in a jury pool and I sat in the jury room with CNN on the TV. It was absolute torture. I could try to read, or look at the floor or at the other potential jurors, but I just couldn't block out the audio. People watch that voluntarily?
