Normally, I'd say it's poor taste to speak ill of the dead. Normally.

That's not what the motivation is here. The media are

  • aware that the family can bury them
  • afraid to lose their jobs
  • beholden to their ~~masters~~ shareholders (or their Rupert Murdochs)
  • trying to make this go away
  • not on the side of the American people

For media companies it's not usually shareholders that call the shots, it's one obscenely rich old guy, like Rupert Murdoch.
