Why is Kyrgyzstan not getting media coverage?

I hate that this is not getting any coverage in the West. At least Euronews and BBC are making an effort to report what is going on in Kyrgyzstan. But the US media is purposefully ignoring their professional duties. When you look at NY Times, CNN, all the big papers, you can see that if someone in the US farts, it is news. If some quirky, weird, vacuous stuff is going on in other countries, like stupid, trendy Japanese kids travelling to New York because they are post-modern loosers, then that is news worth getting published in NY Times. But, when a whole country is going through massive upheavals where the Americans have a military base, where they create non-existent scandals with female majors being "kidnapped," where they have American spies getting kicked out of the country, it is not worth being reported. Maybe they don't know how to analyze what is going on because so much of what is really important is amongst insiders. However, they should still be reporting more thoroghly, and yet Kyrgyzstan is only covered in regional updates and Reuters reports. I mean, if I was an American I would be interested in reading about what is going on in Kyrgyzstan a little country being pulled in different directions by Russia, China, and the US. What is going on is micro-level contemporary world politics!

I see someone who looks like CJ Chivers ( a journalist who has written some interesting articles on Kyrgyzstan for the NY Times) running around the demonstrations. I wonder if it is him...
