I think you're jumping to conclusions here -- look at the time this
happened, the time it appeared on police paperwork, and the printing
deadline for the newspaper. Several of the other TV & Radio news shows
didn't have it last night, either. But they all have it today, including
the arrest of the person responsible. If it doesn't appear in either
Saturday or Sunday papers, then you can ask why. But give 'em a chance.
(And the driver wasn't THAT severely beaten -- he was released from the
hospital and felt well enough to appear on the TV news shows. He seemed
quite calm about the whole thing -- stated that his attacker 'seemed to
have some problems and may need some help'.)
