You made an objective point, then a subjective one.

The objective one: "it's very telling that this will assuredly get almost no coverage on big news networks like abc, cbs, fox, etc." They addressed the objective one with their links.

The subjective one cannot be addressed yet, as it's so soon after the event. You will probably end up correct that this event will not visibly persist, but you can't know for sure, time will tell.
